Our week was weird. We didn’t do all the things I would like to accomplish, but I still think we had a good week. We did four days of Circle Time which gradually improved throughout the week – which had started off with me frustrated. Friday, we finished Packer’s Othello (M-girl was not a fan)…
Code of Silence by Sally S. Wright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Own on Kindle. I would probably give this one 3.5 stars; I thought it was the weakest of the books. I still enjoyed it. It was less a mystery and more suspense. There was one particularly difficult scene. I had a much…
Memory Work for the week of … February 11, 2013 Bible: continuing in Philippians 2. Last week we added verses 12-13. We’re going to stay there this week. Several years ago we did Genesis 1, and have practiced it since. We’re going to work on each day for a week for the next weeks and…

The stories were well selected and gathered. They were written at a level the children could understand without talking down to them. Sometimes…
Soooo … I suppose some of you might have been awaiting the rest of our schedule that I never posted weeks ago when I posted about our new year. Back in early January, I wrote about our Academic Year, our New Schedule and Circle Time. One major change to those posts is that we’re doing…
A Childs Geography Explore His Earth by Ann Voskamp My rating: 4 of 5 stars Own. We completed Ann Voskamp’s A Child’s Geography volume 1 last week. We weren’t very consistent reading it, and finished it in less than a year. There are only 11 chapters, with several divisions each, so a focused study could…
Memory Work for the week of … February 4, 2013 Bible: continuing in Philippians 2. Adding verses 12-13. Catechism/Creed: A new month and we switch to The Apostle’s Creed. M-girl continues her 4 page per day review, N-boy is working on the questions regarding Baptism, R-girl continues on the 3rd and 4th Commandments. Hymn: We’re…
