The Homeschool Mother's Journal

The Homeschool Chick


I love this look back on the week in journal questions so I thought I'd give it a try.  And that is my favorite planner in the picture as well!



In my life this week...

This week we had more sickness.  Still I found myself praising my God that we were able to spend our time at home and not in hospital as so many around me seem to be doing lately.  

In our homeschool this week...

We were completely off of the nice little schedule I made up for us to follow but we still accomplished the necessities.  And again, I reflected back on how I am becoming so much more relaxed.  It's all going to work out.  God is in control!

Places we're going & people we're seeing... 

This week we will be celebrating another child in our home hitting double digits!!  We also will be headed on a field trip to see our local Act 4 Youth production of Tom Sawyer.

My favorite thing this week was...

was seeing my little girl's fever break and her energy return.  I also enjoyed starting up Beth Moore's Living Beyond Yourself this week.

What's working/not working for us... 

Both boys have enjoyed Ten Marks (review coming soon) so much lately that I can't believe I'm saying this out loud but I may even consider turning over our math curriculum to a computer !  

Homeschool questions/thoughts I have...

I am already looking at next year's curriculum.  We are seriously considering using My Father's World, Exploring Countries and Cultures.  I love combining subjects whenever I can and this seems to be what I'm looking for at an affordable price.

A photo to share...

My sick princess still smiling!

  2. I am so glad that your princess is feeling better! I just hate it when the kiddos are sick. :(

    My friend is doing MFW Exploring Countries and Cultures this year and is LOVING it like crazy! She said that learning about each new country has been so much fun each week.

    Hooray for the double digit birthday! Thanks so much for joining me on the journey this week.

    Blessings,
    Sue :)
