We finished up Robin Hood this week, and will be starting The Red Keep next for Middle Ages history. We started Mr. Bell Invents the Telephone for U.S. History, along with a book called Scientists Who Changed the World, which is a compilation of about 20 different scientists and inventors.
We are continuing with our little book on the periodic table, but only doing one element a day, along with looking at some online videos about them. We are also looking at this periodic table which is linked to Wikipedia.
I don't know if I mentioned, but our country we are on right now is Scotland. Interestingly, both Alexander G. Bell and Andrew Carnegie (who we just finished reading about) were from Scotland. Likewise was Sir Walter Scott, whose books Big Girl has been enjoying lately. We didn't plan that, but it just worked out that way, as so often seems to happen. :-)
For our poetry, we are just going to continue reviewing our old poems daily, along with reading from an online compilation of poetry. If I come across a poem I want them to memorize in our daily reading, we will do it, instead of covering any more poets specifically.
As for our artist study, we are finishing up Rockwell, and I don't think I am going to cover any more of the moderns. None of us enjoy many of them anyway. We will take a short break and then go back to the beginning.
With composers, we will be starting Aaron Copland this week, and he will be the last modern composer we will cover. Then, we decided, we are going to go through the 3 Themes to Remember books we have, one at a time, until we are finished. Then we will go back to the beginning, and do one at a time again.

I really like the poetry you linked to.
I didn't even know you liked poetry. :-)
Yeah, I even wrote some in the past but I'm not particularly any good! LOL
