Core G- ANCIENTS
Week 8 “F”
Our 25th week on Core G
Our 25th week on Core G
(We have stopped moving forward in our
Sonlight program, as we dig a litter deeper before moving on to the Romans.
After an extended study of the Greeks, we are currently restarting over our
study of Ancients, for a fairly quick refresher before getting back on the
Sonlight program. This week we focused on the Sumerians, Egyptians,
Mesopotamians, etc.)
Feb. 16-20, 2015
We had a fairly good week, we didn’t get
too much done, nor did we go too easy…it was just about right. I had much higher goals than we accomplished,
but we have been wanting/needing more time to work on crocheting, so that was
good. Crocheting is good therapy for winter ills; whichever kind you have.
Mini-Updates:
Snails- we have at least SIX babies
now!

| Can you see the three babies in this picture? |
Our house in Indiana- still nothing to report, it is on the market and had three groups/families go through last Saturday to see it, so it is getting some action, but no buyers. At least one of the families that looked was waiting for their house to sell before they could buy—so they are in the same boat we are in.
Church search—we have been going between
two different churches for the past six months, and appear to be no closer to
settling into one. After each service we
like that church more!
Our lessons:
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be
steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that
your toil is not in vain in the Lord.”
Corinthians 15:58
Instead of doing a ‘bible study’ this
week, we read our BiblioPlan Ancients book, which starts with Genesis 1. Each chapter is about 3/4th’s of a
bible study, and 1/8 geography, 1/8 history.
It was nice to incorporate bible history with history. When we started Core G our bible and our
history were not united and I felt we missed an opportunity. We are going to read BiblioPlan up to where
we left off with history (the Greeks), then moving forward we will include the
BiblioPlan along side with our SL stuff.
It isn’t just the BiblioPlan Ancients
that we are using as our refresher, but the Holman Bible Atlas, and the Dorothy
Mills book set: The Book of the Ancient World (reader, student, and teacher
books). It does get a bit redundant
having three sources, but we are finding there is unique information in each
book.

I am working on a funky blanket, with lots of colors, and left-over yarns. It is either very interesting or very ugly...can't decide which, that is why there is no photo of it!!!
