Our 'homework' consists of completing independent work from tomorrow's HOD plans. Our day in the life of RTR & WH starts the night before!
The skills needed to progress as a writer come from many different areas, and we strive to address all of these areas within HOD. First, we

We are taking this year at half speed so the workload isn't overwhelming Sweet Potato. Monday was an eight hour school day (and we're talking half speed with additions of piano and Hindi practice added for one extra hour of school max time at the slowest pace should have been 4 hours). Yes it really took her 8 hours to finish. I even said I would straighten her hair if she was done by 7pm. I'm not above bribery. I asked her at dinner how much of the delay was "confusion" and how much was "I don't want to do school in the summer even tho I get 3 extra weeks off in October and November." "Um... Both mom." was the reply. "How much was confusion?" I ask. She holds out her hands 3/4 of an inch apart. "Ok How much was I don't want to?" She hold her hands 10 inches apart. *sigh* A discussion ensues about how much time she spent delaying, 4 hours worth, and how much time she had to play a grand total of 10 minutes. She promised to do better tomorrow the scene from Princess Bride where the Miracle Max's wife runs out from behind the curtain comes to mind. I wonder what will happen if I say Humperdink Humperdink! ... at least it was not 8 hours the next day, it was only 7 so Yes an improvement. Wednesday is chore day but I think I'll be springing school upon them, maybe half of Thursday's because of the Declare Conference, Friday will be a wash and we need 4 days of school this week if they are going to be "Off" when I we head to foreign parts later this year. Here are their notebooks from the first week. We decided to type our responses they look really nice that way. It cracks me up when Little Miss Sunshine says "Do I have to write more than 8 sentences?" and she proceeds to write for pages and pages, where as Sweet Potato was sent back 3 times to finish answering all the questions and I had to help her arrange the story to get it to flow properly. Finally after 2 weeks of school Unit one is complete. Whew! I like blogging about My kids work because I find things like this... Uh guys... you were supposed to paint this!!!! Yes we cheated and used crayola modeling clay. I wasn't sure how gluten free flour would do to make the air dry clay so we used up some of our stash of cool packaged clay. Considering the cost of gluten free flour mix I'm sure the clay is cheaper. We decided to make the Big planets out of paper, looking back I think we should have done the centimeter ones. they would have been way smaller. I helped out making Uranus and Neptune using my handy dandy pinky and opposable thumb to make a Compass out of my hand. You turn the paper its pretty fun! if everything goes right it all works out! Here is the mighty Jupiter! We worked together to make Jupiter, we used a string and a pencil... not perfect but it made a HUGE impression on the kids as to how small our planet is in contrast. Oh well I know Sweet Potato hates change and all this dawdling and infighting will cease next week when we go back on vacation for a week or 2. I think I'll try to get one school day done next week by spreading it out over the whole week. I keep thinking every school day we accomplish now is one we do not have to do later!
Higher level thinking is something that we actively seek to do in each and every guide! In this post, see how it is encouraged in LHTH to RTR
Since you are on the verge of high school, one thing I would really use to make my decision to separate or combine is how well your daughter

Welcome to my organization post for HOD Resurrection to Reformation! I will preface this post by saying that my way to organize is not the only way. I know you free spirited folks may roll your eyes at my being so fussy, but hey, this is how God made me! I just roll with it :) HOD can be open and go. You can totally just buy your guide, never look at it all summer and start! That would make this planner's heart very twitchy if any of you know what I mean. I love though that we are all made so differently, and that my strengths may not be yours, but holy moly do I love and need my free spirited and spontaneous friends in my life! So be yourself when planning your school year is what I'm saying. My goal is to just give you a few ideas :) Here are most of the elements of my organization for the year. I will take shots of my bookshelves when I get my school room finished this year. I prefer to unbind my guide. I take it to FedEx and get the binding removed. I three hole punch it at home to save the cost of them doing it, and put it in a Staples Better Binder. These are worth the money folks. I've never had to replace one in 4 years. Every time I buy a cheapy it's done-for by the end of the year. You can recycle your old binders at Staples and get $2 back for each one. That helps the cost some at least. They go on sale during back to school time, so grab them then, or you'll go broke! The 1 1/2 inch binder fits the guide perfectly. At the beginning of each week I take out the pages that will be used and put them all on a clip board. These binders are too big to work out of, but they make a nice place to store everything in one place. I also love Staples Better Dividers. Again, these can be re-used over and over again. They come with printable labels. You can find the template here. This is Aedan's student notebook for the year. I will probably buy a new one. They have fancy Better Binders that come out at back to school sales that they don't sell the rest of the year. I've divided the binder into these sections: History Notebook Shakespeare Notebook Science Notebook Exploring Planet Earth Our Weather and Water Poetry Study Map Quest Story Time Pages HOD Dictation Appendix I have stored the history notebook pages in the first section. I remove them for the week when he is working on them. If you don't, the holes do tear easily. The notebook is too big to work from comfortably anyway. The notebook pages are beautiful! This is one of my favorite part of the upper HOD guides. They make such a beautiful record of what we've learned. At the end of the notebook pages is an Art Gallery. We will do Art Appreciation this year, and these pages will add so much to your CM style picture study! HOD RtR has an optional Shakespeare study. Optional? No way! I wouldn't miss it! The Shakespeare study has these beautiful copywork pages to go along with our study. He will copy portions of each play we read. This is the Science Notebook portion. I made these science notebooking pages and shared them HERE. There is a Day 1 page for bible copywork, and for science notebooking activities. Vocabulary is done every other week on Day 3. Written Narration rotates with Vocabulary every other week on Day 2 of the guide's plans. Science Labs are always on Day 4. I didn't make pages for the portion of the science plans with Exploring Planet Earth. Someone already made these and shared them on the HOD RtR Facebook group. There are 2 options for science. If people already used Exploring Planet Earth in Bigger Hearts for His Glory's Extension readers, you have the option of instead using Our Weather and Water. I am going to let Aedan choose which he would rather do when we get there. I went ahead and printed out the pages from the Teacher CD from Our Weather and Water in case. We will study the poetry of Emily Dickinson this year. A creative mom from our FB group made these wonderful pages to go along with our study. I copied the poems from the back of the guide, and bound them. This year we will study the geography of the time period we are studying with Map Trek. I printed out the blank student and put them in the binder. I printed out the teacher maps and bound them. I had planned on buying the whole Map Trek printed book and CD instead of doing this. Maybe next year I'll save myself this step, and the gallon of ink it took to print it all! I can't for the life of me find where I found this sheet. It might have been on the HOD Yahoo group. It tells you what maps you will need to print for Map Quest. If I find the link I will share it, but you may want to also check the FB group. There are activities that go along with our Story Time books. I found these pages on the HOD RtR FB group as well. You will need to print at least one per book. Aedan will continue doing HOD dictation this year. I left room for an extra appendix should there be anything else that comes up. I don't think there's room though! IEW Medieval Writing lessons is scheduled in RtR. There is a free printable Student Resource book that you can print out that goes with the lessons. In the front of the HOD RtR guide it tells you what pages you will need to print. I went ahead and printed the whole thing, cuz that's just how I roll. I just figured we'd use it again in the future, so why not? I went ahead and cut out the vocabulary cards, so we're not messing with that each week. We will store them in a index card file box. I also printed out Scholastic's Banish Boring Words. I have about 4281 Scholastic E-books that I got during the dollar sales each year that I rarely use. I finally have a binding machine, so I printed that bad boy. IEW doesn't allow boring words to be used, so I thought this would be a fitting resource. Last year I didn't have an official Common Place Book. I wish I had bought one. I used regular notebook pages. This year I went ahead and bought one that would be sturdy and last for the long haul. HOD has the kids copy poetry, scripture, and quotes from Preparing on up. A Common Place Book is a great way to keep all those memory verses and poetry that has been memorized stored in one place. This should hold most of it for years to come. Last year I bought a 5 subject binder. It had too many sections. This 3 subject will hold Grammar, Writing, and Dictation exercises. I bought both at Target (because that's where I live thank you very much.) This year I did something different for my official teacher schedule. You may have noticed quite a few spiral bound books. I finally invested in a ProClick, and that thing is dangerous in the hands of a office supply lover. I will write a post on that soon! This thinner schedule will keep me from hauling around the teacher binder that I used last year, and be a permanent record of what we did each day in case anyone should every have to ask. Unfortunately, I can't share the actual schedule for copywrite's sake, but if you'd like to use my cover I've shared it here. I have stored things I will refer to often in here. Here is my official attendance sheet. Someone shared this on the FB group as well. I edited it and added our vacation days etc. We plan to take off 4 full weeks. I have schedule 3 off, but have a 4th in reserve depending on how life goes. We will do a co-op on Fridays. I will be the science teacher for 1-3rd grade with a friend who will switch with me. This introvert is going to be on the move this year! This is our field trip log. One of Aedan's old school friends questioned why he would ever want to homeschool. She said that he would never get to go on field trips. He of course laughed maniacally! Muhahahaha! No field trips for homeschoolers!? Yeah right. I logged so many I stopped counting. I love this part about homeschool! Aedan will be memorizing Philippians 1 this year. I made this so he has an easy reference for his memory verses, and copywork. I laminated his on card stock, but also made one for myself. This teacher gets to memorize right along side her students! This is in the NIV version and follows the Philippians CD that is scheduled in RtR. I've shared this sheet here. Well there you have it...a glimpse into my madness. I hope it helps some of you. If not, then roll your eyes and laugh at me. I won't be offended :) I laugh at myself often! I do love knowing that I've done what I can to make this year run smoothly. My knees are always knocking at the beginning of each new year, but it always seems to work out. I'm so thankful that I know that God will give me my measure of what it takes to do what he has called me to do in this season of my life. I can't wait to chat with some of you in our FB group. I sure love having you ladies to walk along side on this journey!

The Roman Catholic church claimed the church itself had supreme authority over all people, but the Reformers believed that sola Scriptura (Scripture alone) is our chief, supreme, and ultimate authority. The Reformation was a battle over the authority and sufficiency of the Word of God.

Well, we made it through our second week in HOD RtR. Phew! It has been going much smoother than I expected. We have had to work on our attitudes, mine included, but I guess that's to be expected after a long summer break. Somehow our days aren't as long as last year's. I'm still trying to figure out if I'm comfortable with that. I have lots of books on the shelves that I've been having Aedan read to augment his studies in science and history. We don't have as many pictures for this week, but Aedan has been joining us for many of our MFW ECC activities. He has really enjoyed our MFW storytime book Kingdom Tales. I love that the boys still get to have so many great experiences together whether or not they're in the same curriculum. Our history project this week was to make a stained glass window. This is where my art hoard comes in handy. I could hear Aedan coloring away on this project. Such a colorful work of art! First he sketched his design on paper, and then he added white glue to the design. He waited for it to dry, and then applied the pastels. These are Aedan's history notebooking pages of the week. I always love his timeline pictures :) He kind of skimped on the postcard this week. Next week, I'm going to have him leave the name off, so he can fit more info. This week we read about Anthanasius, Basil the Great, Emperor Valens, Emperor Jovian, and Bishop Ambrose. Aedan's written narration was about Augustine. He always tends to find humor in the stories somehow. A+ for giving the teacher a good laugh! Each week Aedan will map areas that we are studying, and answer questions about a notable figure. Aedan is enjoying his study of Shakespeare. I love this element of this year's work! A very generous mom made these poetry pages. This week our poem was "I'll tell you how the sun rose..." Aedan is usually very creative, but he really struggled with coming up with a title. As spatial as he his, and creative with drawing, sometimes verbal pictures are harder for him to grasp. This will be a good study for him I think. We read about the sun and solar eclipses. We demonstrated how a solar eclipse occurs for our science activity this week. This picture makes me die laughing. Silas was holding the flashlight, and Aedan was holding the ball. I was holding the camera of course, and couldn't get a good picture. This is him straining to keep the ball in the air because it took me forever to get a good picture in the dark. Ha! Each week Aedan has to write a written narration for science. Every other week he also has vocabulary words as well. This was our final science notebooking page of the week. 2 weeks down! 32 to go!
