I am thinking…
about how awesome the 2018 Homeschool Mom’s Conference was last week. I heard so many wonderful speakers and I learned a lot about how I want to do presentations myself next year. I even made a couple of sales!
I am thankful…
that I had the opportunity to participate. I’m also glad I had the opportunity to hear so many wonderful speakers.
Here’s a new one for me – Heather Lane at Townsend House.
I am pondering…
my next move as a blogger. I might be working for an online company soon – oh and I have a book proposal!! All good things.
One of my Favorite Things…
A random parish photo that I got caught in! Kinda neat! From Father V’s blog.
I am hearing…
Rosie getting ready for running practice that starts in 30 minutes.
In the kitchen…
Apparently, pot roast because Mr. Pete brought two of them home last night!
I am wearing…
Long shorts, a T-shirt and my knee brace – going to try to get 1 1/2 mile walk in today. My knee did pretty well yesterday and I even managed a hill.
I am going…
- Walking, exercising, weight lifting and ab work as much as possible. My knee continues to improve slowly. It really mostly hurts when I get up after sitting for a while, and of course first thingi nthemorning.
- add some additional novenas next year with the help of PrayMoreNovenas.com
- to cut my carbs via the Wheat Belly Total Health: The Ultimate Grain-Free Health and Weight-Loss Life Plan recommendations
and Intermittent Fasting. The longer I fast, the more it seems like work to actually eat! I only do one or two meals a day now.
- Find something new to practice! I have fallen in love with this
I’m actually listening to it on Audible while I’m walking in the morning.
From the Learning Rooms…
Maryrose:
- Read Shakespeare’s plays and poems.
- Read explanations of Shakespeare’s plays or easier versions in addition to the real thing.
- Listen to Shakespeare’s plays on audiobook.
- Watch movies of Shakespeare’s plays.
- Teach or narrate what is learned to a parent, sibling, or friend.
- Write a 5-paragraph essay, compare/contrast essay, literary analysis, or descriptive essay every week based on the lessons studied.
- Write a research paper based on a topic studied in the course.
- Give a speech, using one of the essays or the research paper as a basis. Include a multi-media presentation if desired. Emaze is a nice online presentation software for this activity.
- Go see a live Shakespeare play.
- Memorize more scenes and monologues than are included in the course.
- Perform what you have memorized for an audience.
- Finish reading and doing all the activities from How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare.
