5 Days of Hosmeschool Encouragement - Take a Look Tuesday - Grade 8 and 10

On this second day of the Back to School blog hop hosted by the Schoolhouse Review crew blog, I will finally be sharing with you our plans for this coming year.

This year I was later than usual in planning our school year. Like I mentioned yesterday, grade 9 did not go as planned, so I was still getting over the frustration and then we were on Vacation overseas, so waited until we came back earlier this month to work on it.

This year I will have a 10th grader finishing some grade 9 stuff and an 8th grader.

10th grade line up ( with the credit in brackets)

History (1) /Literature (1) /Philosophy (.25)/Bible survey (1):  Tapestry of grace Year 1: Ancient times
We are circling back on our rotation to year 1. This will be Zach' first time doing Ancient Times at the rhetoric level. Looking forward to it. Both his brother and him will still be doing this in a co-op  setting as the past three years.

Math (1 per grade completed): Lifepac.
I switched him last year mid-year, and that set him back half a year, so he is still in the catching mode. So he will be finishing Algebra 1, then on to Algebra 2 and Geometry at the same time, because I am trying to get him ready to take the ACT or ACT (have not decided which one yet).

Logic (1): The Discovery of Deduction
This has been on the schedule for two years, here to hoping it gets done this year

French (1): Duolingo and Breaking the Barrier

Science (1): Ck12 Physical Science

English : The Lantern English Co. Formely SoVerbose.
We are trying out this company, and i was able to secure a free quarter in exchange for a review

Writing (1): Silverdale Press.
We got this as a review last year and liked the content, so we will attempt to complete it this year.

Art History (1): The Master's Apprentice
This is a review item from this year as well that we will seek to complete this year.


He will also still be doing violin and participating in the ensemble he has been part of for 3 years now.

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's story:   When

I have to admit I am in love with our first review product from the 2015 crew year. We received a full year subscription to Visual Learning Systems 's Digital Online Science Program Elementary edition and S econdary edition . Science has always been one those subjects I am having all sort of trouble deciding what to use and never being fully satisfied with what we are doing. Well my search is over.
