In my life this week…
It's been an emotional week but all in all a good one.In our homeschool this week…
- We have been reading some books (Follow My Leader and Buddy the First Seeing Eye Dog) on people with special needs (blindness) in preparation for a trip to Melbourne Museum to see the Living in a Sensory World exhibit.
- Went on a trip to the Wool Museum to see the Step Right Up display.
- Today we went to the Marine Discovery Centre
- We have also started studying archeology. Interesting topic to try and explain to a seven year old!
- The nominations for Homeschool Blog Awards have commenced.
- Hammock Tracks has a new weekly link up for homeschoolers called It's a Wrap.
- Have you heard about Homeschool Mosaics ? Great site with lots of homeschool Mom's contributing some excellent support articles.
- Are you strapped for cash and in need of homeschool supplies, curriculum? Over at Homeschool Mosaics I found a great blog post on Homeschool for FREE. This page contains a HUGE organised list of links to help you homeschool for free.
- Aussie Homeschool is hosting a Charlotte Mason Education book discussion.
- It amazes me the gifts some people have to create ...

- Had some afternoon tea with the T family.
My favorite thing this week was…
- Watching Sir N enjoy his trip to the Marine Discovery Center.
What’s working/
- Using the community and museums to discover and learn together.
Questions/thoughts I have…
- What do you think about Waldorf Steiner teaching ? I like SOME (a couple) of the concepts but NOT the whole philosophy.
- What and how I want to do in History this coming year with Sir N. I really like the idea of teaching history chronologically the way they do in The Well Trained Mind and would like to do that alongside Sonlight.
- A stack of books I aught to be reading but somehow I don't get to ...
- Nothing this week :) I have been surfing Pinterest.
- Kransky Potato Bake
- Choc Chip Banana Bread.
-
Courtney from Women Living Well is hosting a Pinterest Link Up until the 16th of October.
- Laura Orak has 4600+ pins for you to look through.
- The Homeschool Chicks are hosting a Pin it to Win it! until 14 October.Everyone is a winner with this one. You get to download a mnemonics pack for free for participating.
- I have found some interesting things you can do with paper plates and paper bags.
- I am looking for lists to add to my Homeschool FREE board.
I’m grateful for…
- My son has had some desperate financial needs which we prayed about on Wednesday evening at dinner. On Thursday morning I found an envelope with his name on it in our letter box. This amazing envelope had a note from someone saying the Lord had layed it on their heart to bless him. The amount in the envelope was the EXACT amount he was in need of. Our God is an AWESOME God and supplies our needs according to His glory. Please continue to pray for him.
