September 9, 2005 - First Week of School |
Our first week of homeschooling
was great. Getting back into the swing of a schedule was easier
than we expected. Only my 12yo is having a rough time because he
has a latin class MWF and football practice every afternoon at
3pm. The time in between the two is his time to work on his own
studies. I think it is excellent training because I was probably
too easy on him since he was the youngest. Now he has a male
latin teacher at a half-day boys school and a football coach telling
him what to do. YEA for men involved in young guys' lives.
I am enjoying my reading with the girls. This week we are reading
through Bede. Do you know who he is? Bede wrote a church
history of England. He begins his book around 300 and goes to
700ish. It is great because it gives more than just church
history. I have learned all sorts of things about Rome and its
church, as well as the very early kings of England. I didn't know
anything really about Britain's history. It is so fascinating to
see how the gospel came to Britain through Augustine's arrival in
Kent. From the south of the island it spread to the Northumbrians
in the north. Many kings converted to Christianity and one
outlawed the worship of idols. I had no idea the kings were so
involved in a positive way with the church. Now, I just need to
get back into the habit of writing in my reading journal. I'll write about that when it happens.
What are you reading this week?

ps. The ice cream sundaes on our first day were terrific. What do you do for your first day of school?
