We have an “extra” week this first half of Term 2, so we’re easing in this week with Morning Time, math and piano – and apparently some sickness. Hymns & Prayer: There’s much to pray about! Bible & Catechism: We’ll read Marty Machowski’s Wise Up: Ten-Minute Family Devotions in Proverbs, and continue learning the Westminster Shorter… Continue Reading
Here’s what we’ll be doing this first term of the school year… Hymns & Prayer: We’ll sing the hymns that Mr. E and Mr. L are doing in choir at co-op. Jesus Shall Reign is September’s hymn. Bible & Catechism: Essential Truths of the Christian Faith will continue to be our devotional reading. We’ll memorize one of… Continue Reading
It’s hard to make the time to blog these days, but it’s good to think through what went well over the past year as I plan for the next. I probably won’t do a What Didn’t Work post, although I am thinking about that aspect of it, and have mentioned a few things that didn’t… Continue Reading
Morning Time is off to a slow start this term, what with necessary appointments last week and the homeschool convention later this week. But we do it when we can, and hopefully will be able to be more consistent soon. Hymns & Prayer: We currently following AmblesideOnline’s hymn schedule, as that is what our homeschool… Continue Reading
Morning Time this term is, as usual, a mix of old and new: some things we’ve been doing for a while, and some new books we’ve just started, or will start later in the term. Bible: We’ll continue memorizing Romans 6. For our devotional, we’re reading through Essential Truths of the Christian Faith by R. C.… Continue Reading

We will also start… Continue Reading
I won’t be posting detailed curriculum plans this year, one of the reasons being that 11th grade seems to be only getting planned a term at a time. 😛 I’m fine with that – as I’ve said before, planning energizes me, and I will probably need a bit of energizing come winter. 😉 But I… Continue Reading
We’re not starting Morning Time up again until a couple of weeks into the term, and I’m expecting interruptions with VBS and other summer stuff, so I’m keeping it simple (not really much different than usual, I guess 😛 ), and hoping to finish up a few things we’ve had going for a while. Bible… Continue Reading
