A Typical Week in Our Bible-Based Homeschool

I am laughing at the title of this as I type, because this week has been anything but typical…with our recent move. BUT, I did think that we got a good amount of work done, and our studies were somewhat back on track. Usually, though, there is NO such thing as “typical.”
Here is what we have been doing:
BIBLE: We are doing an Advent devotional, and the kids are copying Luke 2 for copywork.
MATH: Math U See: Algebra for the oldest (pray for us! 
) Delta, and Zeta for the others. Littlest guy is practicing counting, order, calendar, and writing numbers.
HISTORY: We are continuing in Mystery of History. We are reading about Ancient Rome and Christian persecution. We read through a lesson, and then took another day to do some of the activities for the lesson. We had to talk about how Rome was divided up into provinces to make it easier to rule by Diocletian. So we were able to then do activities relating to how our country is divided into states. We spent one day using flashcards to review the states and capitals. The older children had to then research what a governor does and write me a short paper about their duties and limitations of power.
SCIENCE: Apologia for all children. This is a great Bible-based curriculum. Plus lots of real life science on our new property! Salamander catching, exploring in the woods, nature, and more!
LOGIC: Older children working through The Fallacy Detective. I have to laugh when I see my daughter using skills she is learning when she is arguing with us! (Ha! Practical application, I guess )
LANGUAGE ARTS: Explode the Code for younger children, Language Lessons from Sandi Queen for older, and IEW for oldest. My oldest is working a report writing with IEW. We absolutely love that program! There have also been a few writing assignments for the younger children.
SPELLING: Review for younger children
GEOGRAPHY: Reviewing continents, oceans, countries, maps, and states and capitals
READING: Oldest is reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan and Across Five Aprils. Middle schooler is reading Narnia series, and younger is reading a fishing book (he loves fishing!) Littlest is learning to read with Explode the Code and I can Read It.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE: French using Middlebury Interactive for oldest.
OTHER: Public speaking class (ICC), fine arts program, robotics, baking, crafts, and lots of exploring on our new property. We also have two boys making a homemade manger out of wood they cut. Can’t wait to see the result
