This week we finished up some books and started some new ones. We started reading My Side of the Mountain, just for fun. It is a really good book. We started listening to Maurice Ravel for our composer. He is much better than Ives, though not as good as the old masters. :-) I guess we just don't care for modern stuff.
Big Girl didn't do any math this week, as we were waiting for the Lial's BCM I had ordered. It came yesterday, and I have planned out next weeks lessons. She just was not enjoying the biology she has been doing, and would have preferred to skip to the later, more interesting chapters in the book. So I decided to just let her read through this book, with no questions or anything, and give her a half credit for it and a half credit for the physical science book she read through last year. After she finishes, we will find some topic she is interested in and do an in depth study on it. She did daily exercises in her Wordsmith this week, and the final assignment of the week was to write a restaurant review. She did her grammar and vocabulary and is finishing up the Spurgeon biography this weekend.
Little Girl is continuing working through her subjects, as usual. We have been working on outlining paragraphs this week, and will continue until it is easier for her. She is doing great in everything else.
