We Actually Completed A Resource

As a home-school family, we have actually finished a curriculum resource! We actually used it from beginning to end- I am so surprised yet happy as I have that rare feeling of seeing something through to completion.

We have finished our Heart of Wisdom unit~ Adam to Abraham. We all enjoyed it and all of the children learned a lot. We also finished ?Adam and His Kin? and the children enjoyed it a lot more than the last time I tried to read it aloud. I started it a few years ago but I think that the girls might have been a bit too young and not have had as many *mental hooks* in place. This time round, it tied in beautifully with the HOW unit and was thoroughly enjoyed by all- even the boys. We also finished ?Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? and thought it was a hoot!

So, what next? I am putting the children back on to a more individual schedule as there are some things around the home that I need to focus on.

As a family, we will follow the ?Greenleaf Guide to the Old Testament? and I?m about to start ?Farmer Boy? as the read aloud. We?ll also continue ?The Fallacy Detective? as a family.
