The Homeschool Mother's Journal - 10




In my life this week...


Dare I say it?  We had NO sickness!!!  Praise God, we had a week with no sickness! 

In our homeschool this week...

We are wrapping up week 22 of Classical Conversations.  I can't believe we only have 2 weeks left!  We will miss our CC buddies!

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

We will be attending our local theater for a production of "The Diary of Anne Frank"!  I can hardly wait!  I love our local performances.  The plays are all done by youth!

My favorite thing this week was...


NO SICKNESS!!!  Yes, I am screaming that through the roof!  You certainly don't realize how great you feel until you don't feel so great anymore!



What's working/not working for us...

Uhm, note to self:  You cannot use every curriculum there is out there!  You must make a decision!!  

Homeschool questions/thoughts I have...


I have a debate going with myself, lol.  Does anyone else do that?!?  I think we may go ahead and start MFW - ECC after we finish up with Classical Conversations.  I am leaning toward going with Exploration to 1850 in August.  We have studied the other time periods leading up to this and CC will be doing American History for the next cycle.  We could then do 1850 to Modern Times after next year's CC finishes.

It would be a lot though so I would need to do some tweaking and the whole point of using MFW this year was to simply my planning!! 

A photo, video, link, or quote to share...


I am sure everyone already knows this link but it is full of resources, advice, wonderful ladies, used curriculum, you name it!

  4. I am with you. This has been my first year as a homeschool mom, so I am winging it on curriculum while I see what works. I have considered MFW for history/social studies as well. There are just so many fun looking things out there.
