Weekly Wrap-up — Week 2
I am happy to say that we survived the first 2 weeks of school. It has been busy. It has been tiring. It hasn’t been all smiles, but we have made it. What is going well: I am very happy with my pre-planning of Tapestry of Grace. It has helped my 6th grade daughter tremendously.…
Tapestry of Grace Planning – Weekly Report Week -1
We are starting Tapestry of Grace Year 3 next week! At the end of last year I did some thinking about our accomplishments for the year and one of the things we didn’t do very well was history. (That’s really an understatement. But I did have a baby, so I’m trying to be generous.) I…
Planning, planning, planning
Time flies when you’re having fun, and I have been having fun planning our school year. I am still far from finished, but I have gotten a lot done. We’re going to be using Tapestry of Grace Year 3 for our History, Geography, Literature, and Church History studies next year. This is my first year using…
The 2 Week Summary
This wrap-up will have to cover 2 weeks or more. I’m not sure how long it’s been since I’ve posted. Our core subjects are moving along well for both of my older children. My son is not particularly fond of all the practice in Analytical Grammar, but we’ve only got 3 more weeks to go.…

A Good Day
It’s been busy as usual around here. Yesterday I hardly had time to breathe and didn’t get a chance to even do any school with my younger son. Not that he minded 🙂 We had a 4H meeting, a Cross Country meet, and violin lessons in the afternoon. To top off the already busy day,…
Overwhelmed
OK, I know it is ridiculous to be so tired so early into the school year, but this week really wore me out! Part of it is because I think I may have overscheduled myself. (OK, I know I have.) You remember that old commercial where the guy is at his desk saying, “I can…
Islam Study
We finished our Islam study in Tapestry of Grace Year 2. (And yes, we are tremendously behind in history, but we’re moving forward now!) We discussed Muhammad and his life, as well as the basic tenets of the Islam faith. We looked at pictures of mosques, and built our own model. My daughter made a…
