Amid the walls vibrating with electric saws and hammering...
my children begged me to let them begin their school year. I pulled out the Bibles; my plan was to begin with Scripture study each day, but in my new, "unschooly" way, using our "commonplace book" method. I told them they could read, copy out passages, illumine the passages like the monks of old...and they had a 30 minute block for this.

I did make some suggestions to the middle aged ones. Galadriel asked me to help her find a nice psalm. If you look closely, you will notice there are mistakes in some of the copying efforts, but that's part of the lesson--I'll gently point out those little errors and help them correct them.

We can sneak an "o" in there--right? ;) ("Copy carefully!")

I'm going to admit--the builder's radio set to the Country Rock station didn't assist the ambiance of the morning. I'm actively praying for the interior work to be finished this week! But oh with what joyous anticipation we are all awaiting our new space for learning and working!

St. Joseph the builder, pray for us! St. Philomena, patron of students, pray for us!
