IIIt's a Wrap! This Week in Our Homeschool and on the Blog { A to Z Blogging Challenge #HSMJ #WWU}

Brought to you by the letter << I >> and the A to Z Blogging Challenge....

our weekly wrap....
I really just don't get around to publishing 

a wrap up eeeeeeevery week.

But still, lots of fun, and usually gratifying, 
 to look back and see what's been accomplished

on the homeschool front and with the  family.

Here on the blog too.

So, last week, the blogosphere  saw the official beginning 

of the A to Z blogging challenge!

I've not missed a day and we're up to Day 9. Woohoo.

Yay, me.

Let's see how I'm doing by day 20 or so....hmmmmm

Lots of creativity, I'll tell ya!

So, yeah the A to Z challenge has been fun, motivating and
...well...........challenging!

I'm enthusiastic about  continuing the series, "pushing" my writing

and creativity limits...which some days seem  pretty drab and uninspired.
Who knew that just sitting every day with
 a letter as a prompt could get the writing flowing?
Even if it's not "good" writing...for my writing life,
 that better than zero writing.

Now, for the rest of our week....
and our 'extra curriculars': 

let's see, we're heavy on the programs at out local library:

A wildlife forensics class offered by an instructor from the DEC and 

a book discussion club.
Soccer began this week. A new league in a different town.
Less travel, friendly competition. All good.
My youngest is typically a defender or midfielder and 'he's been 
anticipating the season's start now for quite some time!
Violin study and lessons are moving along really well.
< Our violin resources are detailed here> 

On the homeschooling front, we've had  a huge focus on

L'etude du francais...la langue et la culture aussi.

I highly highly recommend this series.

It's thorough and repetitive ,

yet interesting and engaging.

The workbook contains solid reinforcement but the

 "Take home Tutor " CD rom focuses on necessary interactive  practice. 

Math sees a continuation in our prealgebra studies

And in English/ Literature, we're engaged in a  Ray Bradbury

author study. I think my favorite Bradbury story is The Veldt.


If this one slipped passed you, it's a must-read!
Also, lots of decluttering going on. Stumbled on this meme on social media --
have to share.....


Thanks for coming by for a peek at our week!
See you here soon....

Day 9 ~ I,  of the A to Z Challenge!

I'm writing off a picture/s or a thought/s for the month.....

Now real "theme," just a stream of consciousness.

Please visit tomorrow for J, day 10 !
