In my life this week…
I finally got rid of that nasty sore throat and weird sounding voice that I had all last week…and poor ds9 woke up with it on Monday :(.
In our homeschool this week…
Since my voice was working again this week, we doubled up on all of our read-alouds, we finished up The Tales of Robin Hood, knocked out a couple of chapters in A Child’s History of the World, and I even read a couple of picture books to the kiddos. I did give poor ds9 a break early this week due to his sickness…but he did complete most of the spelling, writing and math that I had planned.
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
On Wednesday night I went to my book club {a small group from our church is reading John Piper’s Don’t Waste Your Life}. This is the first book club I have ever been involved in and I am really enjoying it. The book is very thought-provoking and quite convicting ~ and knowing that I have a book club meeting keeps me motivated to keep reading :)
This weekend is a big one for dd6 ~ she is going to a birthday tea party to celebrate a friend’s birthday on Saturday and returning home just in time to head out to a Daddy-Daughter dance with her daddy…that is if the weather does not interfere {they’re calling for freezing rain}.
My favorite thing this week was…
The big pot of bean soup that I cooked up in the crockpot on Thursday. I love me some bean soup {even though no one else in my family does}. I also baked a couple loaves of homemade bread…so they didn’t starve :)
What’s working/not working for us…
I absolutely LOVE the Well-Planned Day planners! I have been using the homeschool planner for myself for the past couple of years, and this year I also purchased the Middle School Planner for my ds9. He’s is not in middle school {not even close}, but it still works well for him.
Homeschool questions/thoughts I have…
I am in the midst of making lists for curriculum to look over for next year. I have heard a lot of wonderful comments about Institute for Excellence in Writing and I am considering adding it next year. We love Writing With Ease also {that’s what we’re currently using}…I wonder if it would be too much to do both…hmmm….
A photo to share…
