Back to school this week. We started a new composer, Sergei Prokofiev, most famous for Peter and the Wolf. We started reading Robin Hood for our Middle Ages history. We all love it. Big Girl read another version of it by Howard Pyle for literature, as well as a couple other smaller versions we have here. She really likes comparing. We also watched the old Erol Flynn Robin Hood on Netflix. It was fun.
The paragraph writing book that Little Girl was doing was quickly getting very complicated, which makes sense since the cover says it is for up to grade 8. So I have dropped that for now. Not sure if I will resume some sort of writing exercise for her or not. I said earlier that I didn't think she needed it, but I am not sure. If I do, it will definitely be Beechick inspired, like copywork and dictation, along with writing things in a different tense, or from another point of view. Nothing too complicated.
I started Spell to Write and Read with Big Girl. We haven't actually started the spelling lists yet, but she already knows most of the phonograms from when we did it before a long time ago. We did some pages in the log, and will finish those next week. Then the following week, we will be ready to start the word lists.
We started our chronological reading through Acts, inserting letters where they fit into Acts, this week.
