The Homeschool Mother's Journal

In my life this week...
This week has been a week of ups and downs. Had some pretty good days, but we are battling a cold bug so is has been a roller coaster of sorts.

In our homeschool this week...

This was the final week of our co-op for the term. We had a guest speaker before classes began. Alter Weiner a holocaust survivor spoke to the group telling his amazing story.  He is the author of a moving memoir "From a Name to a Number"  I'm still processing the whole talk as it was moving, power, inspiring, and heartening.  The group was blessed by his talk and then he stayed for the afternoon hanging out with some of the moms during their free periods.  
My husband and I ran the sound and lights for the presentation so I was not totally focused on the presentation and can't wait to read the book. (I will borrow my Dad's copy when he finishes)  
Places we're going and people we're seeing...
Between co-op and our regular Adventurer club meetings this was a week of activity. We were blessed on Monday being able to pick up some bread at a local church. Tuesday was our Adventurer club meeting and my group on kids finished their book work for the year, now we can focus on some fun creative honors and have them help teach the younger kids an honor...


My favorite thing this week was...
I'm not sure I had a favorite... 


What's working/not working for us...
I really need to work on getting us back to our workboxes and get our classroom area decluttered. I think I will have the boys help this afternoon (Monday is garbage day so Sunday afternoon seems to be a good cleaning day)
