« 7 Quick Takes
And then there’s this one »

May 14, 2018 by Amy Welborn

And here we are! The last week of school for everyone, and everyone is ready for that to happen.

A few notes on writing and teaching and learning and such:

  • I’m in Living Faith today – go here for that. (Previous entry this quarter was here.)
  • If you’re interested in more of the same, but on a daily basis, do check out my Catholic Woman’s Book of Days. It’s even available in digital format. So easy.
  • I had been thinking that How to Get the Most out of the Eucharist was still in print in a digital version – it’s not. So I went ahead and posted a pdf version of the text here (Scroll down a bit) for free download. Or click on the cover below.

  • A reminder of other free texts of books I have available. Just click on the cover to go find them. They’re all in pdf form, and you are free to use them however you like. Except sell them and pocket the profits yourself, of course. But other than that – for your own use or even making copies for a group or class – it’s fine. It’s all there. You don’t even need to tell me or much less ask permission.

  • Mary and the Christian Life can be purchased for Kindle here.
  • Mary Magdalene: Truth, Legends and Lies here. 
  • My son’s author webpage is here and his Amazon page is here. 
  • In a couple of weeks the info on my forthcoming book should be available, I’m told.

 

  • I finally actually purchased airfare and reserved an apartment for the Japan trip. Five weeks before departure – too soon?

 

Speaking of the end of school….

Last week, my youngest had a meeting with administrators at his new school (not exactly new, since he attended in 6th grade) and so I pulled together a transcript of sorts for the occasion. Alabama homeschool law is very liberal. All you have to report is attendance. There are no requirements to test,  report grades or submit curricula. It’s glorious. I am not sure I could homeschool in a state with strict requirements – too lazy, too disorganized and too much a reactive, spur-of-the-moment  INFP, deep down, through and through.

But, as I’ve indicated before, I knew that at this age, it would be smart to keep good records – and not just for The Man, but for our sake. He was going to work hard (sort of) and do interesting things and wanted to make sure it just didn’t disappear. So we did – I don’t plan much, but I did record, in a more detailed form that what I’m about to share with you – I wrote down every video watched and most of the rabbit trails we hopped along.

Here’s what we shared with the school– – slightly amended to take out specific names, and so on – I thought those of you curious about homeschooling might find it interesting. It’s a little unconventional, but as my son said in his best Jeeves accent as he handed it back to me after review, “Quite an accurate depiction of the year, sir.” 

(And no – I didn’t put Lost or Jeeves and Wooster on there – although I sat here staring at the keyboard for several minutes contemplating if I should or not, since there were more teachable moments than I can count in the hours we spent watching and talking about those series. But ultimately I decided it be just too insufferable to do so.)

    Thank you for the peek at your transcript. I love how it gives a little snapshot of M.

    I envy all those trips! The one thing I most long for is being able to travel with my kids.

    Thank you for posting. You have a great list of readings, and it’s especially helpful to me (for tutoring purposes) to see your list of short stories. I hope you blog your high school homeschooling experience! I can’t copy you – my youngest is graduating – but it’s always reassuring to see what another mom I respect is doing. If you want a demanding reading list for high school (not that you would need it, but sometimes it’s helpful to make comparisons), please get in touch.

    I didn’t mind being insufferable when I made my oldest’s transcript…

    My wife forwarded me the following article, which she thought M might appreciate. It combines his interests in Mesoamerica and the organ.
