Ancients
Sonlight Core G
Week 10 "A"
March 30 - April 3rd, 2015
31st Week on Ancients: 10/36
One issue I had to process this week, was one that perhaps some other homeschooling moms can relate to---my MIL and BIL, and niece-in-law all voiced their "CONCERN" over my Dd being homeschooled during high school. They didn't think Dd would be accepted to college after being homeschooled. It doesn't help that BIL is a middle school teacher, that happens to not have a high regard for homeschoolers apparently. I long for the day when my family can understand or have faith in my ability to not lead my Dd astray academically. We are in the "seventh grade" but they are already concerned for the future.
We made it back to the Butterfly Exhibit, and went early this time! We beat the crowd, and enjoyed a few minutes before most of the crowd (and buses) arrived!
Our Lessons:
Bible:
With Easter coming up, I thought it would be a perfect time to fit in Vinegar Boy by Alberta Hawse.

Rainbow Resource description:
Abandoned by his parents and shunned by society, Vinegar Boy is certain he'll be adopted once Jesus removes the ugly birthmark that scars his cheek. But when he carries the drugged vinegar to a crucifixion, Vinegar Boy finds himself face to face with the only one who can heal his face. Is there still time for a miracle?
We started reading Psalm 119 last week, and got through half of the commentary from The Believer's Bible Commentary about that Psalm, so this week we completed that section (pg 743-748).
