Homeschool Highlights - The Week We Powered Through

This post contains affiliate links - using affiliate links from Homeschool Coffee Break helps fuel this blog and our homeschool - thank you!

Welcome to Homeschool Highlights! 

This weekly link-up is your opportunity to share some highlights of what is happening in your homeschool and in your world each week. If you write a wrap-up post at the end of each week, like I've been doing, we'd love to see what you're busy with from week to week. If you'd like to pick a favorite post from your week that spotlights a resource or activity in your homeschool that you'd like to tell others about, we're interested in those too. I'm keeping the guidelines as simple as I can, and they will appear at the bottom of each post, along with the link tool. I look forward to getting to know you, and I hope this will be a source of encouragement and good ideas for all of us.

Grab a cup of coffee and let's get started!

Thanks to the holiday last week, last weekend felt a bit like a bonus! We did work on Friday, but in the evening, the hubster and I took in some more fireworks at one of the local fireman's carnivals.

We had a rather relaxed start to our Saturday, but in the afternoon we attended the wedding of one of Kennady's very good friends. The mom is one of my good friends. The wedding was outdoors and thankfully the rain held off until the ceremony and photos were done and we were all under the tent enjoying the reception! It was a beautiful wedding!

Happy bridal couple with the bride's family

A friend was nice enough to take a picture of the three of us!

Sunday was much as usual, except that there was no hockey, so we had a little extra free time. The kids decided they wanted to go mini golfing so we did that as a whole family, auxiliary kids and all. Most of us are atrocious at mini-golf, by the way! Another beautiful day that included this beautiful rainbow spotted low over the driving range. We also placed the painted rock we brought back from Brantford, Ontario.

After such a relaxed weekend that felt like vacation, we had a lot of work and school to accomplish during the week. Kennady started her online college class on Monday and has been finding her way around the online class set-up quite easily. There was some concern about whether she would miss deadlines while away at camp next week, but she has been able to work ahead some and did communicate with the instructor so that she won't be penalized if she doesn't get the writing assignment submitted until after next weekend.

We got her set up with her "grown-up" bank account this week, and she had opportunities to drive around on her own to see friends and run errands. She also got registered for her music ensemble and studio guitar class at the college, so I think she is finally mostly ready to get started as a full time student!

On our way home from the college yesterday, we stopped to do a little shopping, and wound up getting drenched as we gave up waiting for this storm to blow over. And crazy as it sounds, even though it's above 90 degrees, I was chilled the whole rest of the day.

Do You Homeschool Through the Summer?



From the High School Lesson Book - A Year-End Summary for 2018-2019

On my blogs last week . . .

Here on Homeschool Coffee Break:

What Assignments Do You Give for Literature?

And on my book blog, Just A Second:

Recent Reads - The Heart Changer
Wordless Wednesday - Rainbow
Recent Reads - A Caribbean Mystery
Scripture and a Snapshot - Do Not Worry

Just A Second is where I share book reviews and other book-related things, and update on what's on my bookshelf. This week I finished and reviewed A Caribbean Mystery: A Miss Marple Mystery by Agatha Christie and The Heart Changer by Jarm Del Boccio, and I've been reading:

An Artless Demise (A Lady Darby Mystery) by Anna Lee Huber

A parting shot . . . One of our stops on Thursday was the Goodwill. We found these shoes and had so many questions!! And honestly, I'm just a bit disappointed that we opted not to purchase.
