WEEKLY REVIEW


Nothing new with our fine arts this week.  We will be changing composer and artist next week.

For American history, we have been reading about the start of cities, the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, and the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.  For Middle Ages, we read some spine books about Richard the Lionheart and John Lackland.  

Big Girl started Ivanhoe for literature this week.  She really likes it, and I am supposed to be reading it with her, but it puts me to sleep!  I might just read some Cliff's notes or something.  She also started her Lial's math.  So far, so good.  Just basic review at this point.  Her writing was about using adverbs and prepositional phrases.

Little Girl did all her usual lessons.  Her writing was about outlining paragraphs and using parallel construction.  She is actually doing better than I expected!  I am pleased.
