We are really enjoying Grant Wood's paintings, for the most part. But we did not care for Charles Ives at all for our composer. His music sounded pretty much like noise to us. We will be moving on next week to a new one.
I ordered Little Girl Paragraph Writing Made Easy, and we did the first lesson this week and started the second. I think we will like this.
Big Girl hit a snag in algebra again. She got to the fourth book in Key To, and it just wasn't clicking. She isn't making the connections she needs to in order to do algebra. So she looked at Lial's Basic College Math with me this morning, and said she liked the looks of it, and we ordered it for her. I figure we can come back to algebra when she is about 16 or so, and more ready to tackle the kind of thinking needed to grasp algebra. The Lial's will keep her basic math fresh meanwhile, and even looks to have some useful stuff she hasn't covered yet anywhere else.
