Gettin' Ready...

The summer is winding down.  I know this because I've done the following...

-  Prayed

-  Attended the book fairs

-  Prayed

-  Studied my options

-  Prayed

-  Made choices

-  Prayed

-  Ferreted out the best buys on new and used curriculum

I've set my countdown clock ...see it there in the right-hand column?    And now all that's left to do is .......well.....pray some more!

Anyway, for anyone interested... and just because I like blogging about it...here's what we have planned for this upcoming school year!  Drum-roll please... 

  • Bible / Philosophy:  A Fire That Burns but Does Not Consume by James Stobaugh
  • English Literature:  Progeny Press Study Guides - starting with Shadow Spinner by Susan Fletcher
  • Language Arts:  Linguistic Development Through Poetry Memorization by Andrew Pudewa, AVKO Sequential Spelling, Words on the Vine by Claudia Vurnakes
  • Writing:  Institute for Excellence in Writing, History Based Writing Lessons by Lori Verstegen
  • Foreign Language:  Rosetta Stone - Spanish
  • Math:  Math - u - See - Algebra I and Geometry 
  • Science:  Apologia Physical Science
  • History:  Mystery of History Vol. II
  • Civics:  God's World News
  • Art:  Exploring Art Media by Barbara Shannon
  • Music:  Mater Amabilis .org
  • Logic:  The Thinking Toolbox by Nathan & Hans Bluedorn

 

We'll learn many lessons from these books, but truthfully, the best learning will take place during those days we are able to help Dad at work, take a meal to a friend or just take a long nature walk.  For now, though....we'll put the books away and enjoy these lazy, crazy, hazy days of summer!

sounds like another awesome year at Lakeside Academy. Good planning their friend. I can't wait to hear about it through the year. Praying that you will all enjoy the books but most of all the learning through life.

Be blessed

Good Morning Dear!

You look like you have everything planned out for the year. Good for you.

As I looked over what you're doing I was tickeled to see that we're most of what you're doing! LOL

I am in awe how God brings like minded people together.

Blessings on your day, I'm praying for you always.

Wow...that's pretty neat about our being lead in the same direction and having similar tastes! Once school is underway and you're not incognito any more...I hope we can share ideas and help! I don't know anyone, locally, who is, as you put it, "...like minded" in the curriculum arena, so your friendship would be a breath of fresh air! :-)

Blessings!

Welcome!

Welcome to my lazy little place on the web. A place to slow down and take an occasional break from the everyday routine.

About Us...


Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket My sweet hubbie took the quirky little picture you see above. Contrary to what it may seem to indicate, the kids and I are not usually found sitting around together looking like sardines packed in mustard sauce. We were actually loaded up in our little space capsule at the St. Louis Arch - ready to ride to the top! Now THAT was a cool field trip!! When we're not on field trips, you'll find us living our dream on a lovely little lake in the Lake Region of N. Central Florida - with lots of cows, horses, raccoons, opossums and gators for neighbors (...there are a few humans as neighbors too!). We're going into our 13th year of homeschooling, and even though all of our homeschooling children are now high schoolers, we still enjoy the eclectic, hands-on, literature based, Charlotte Mason method that we always have. The Lord has blessed us in so many ways, and to Him, alone, we give all the praise and glory! Soli Deo Gloria!!

Believe in God and you’ll believe in miracles;

believe in His Son and you’ll experience one!

Logic ridicules love,

and love smiles knowingly

at the whole foolishness of logic.





Creativity is allowing yourself

to make mistakes.

Art is knowing which ones to keep.

“A friend is someone who knows the song

in your heart and can sing it back to you

when you have forgotten the words.”

We are...

...a Christian family desiring to raise our

children with the primary focus on

Training their Hearts!

III John 1:4

"I have no greater joy, than to hear my

children walk in truth."

Proverbs 22:6

"Train up the child in the way he should

go, and when he is old, he will not depart

from it"

Deuteronomy 5:29

"Oh that their hearts would be inclined

to fear me and keep all my commands always,

so that it might go well with them and their

children forever!"

Train up a child in the way he should go

— but be sure you go that way yourself.

The character of our children tomorrow

depends on what we put into their hearts today.
