A Shelter for the Heart

The Homeschool Mother's Journal

In my life this week…

Things were a little crazy around here.  Baby up in the night.  Daddy busy with work.  House exploding with messes.  See my 3 in 30 check in for all the gory details.

In our homeschool this week…

  • Math Mammoth Addition 1 – We're very happy with this curriculum.  Jonathan is even starting to “rememberize” some of his addition facts and do some math in his head.  Incredible for just four years old.
  • Pathway More Days Go By – I added this back in to help us step back up to a full school year schedule.  This is a great curriculum for Jonathan.  He's doing so well with the grammar and comprehension using this series.
  • Memory Verses – We're stuck on a long verse right now.  The neithers and nors in Roman's 8:38-39 have us both tripped up!
  • Apologia Astronomy!  Jonathan and I were so excited to start this that we jumped in a week early!

Things I'm working on…

  • We “officially” start Kindergarten on Monday.  I have a Kindergartener?  That's crazy!
  • I need to get Jonathan to let me cut his hair.  This is a battle every few months.
  • I have a great idea for a back to school picture.  Hair cut, then picture…

I'm reading…

  • I'm still reading Educating the Wholehearted Child and discussing it with other homeschool moms here on my blog each Monday.  I'm hosting a giveaway for the book right now thanks to Apologia!
