We started with an introduction to Galatians this week, and will be reading that next for Bible.
For U.S. history, we watched a film about Madame Curie and read some more from the scientist book we have been going through. We also read Drake Drills for Oil and a book about the making of the Brooklyn Bridge.
For Middle Ages history, we started Otto of the Silver Hand by Howard Pyle. Big Girl also read The Marvelous Misadventures of Sebastian by Lloyd Alexander.
For free reading, Big Girl read The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin.
I ordered the Berlitz Self Teacher for Spanish this week, and Big Girl and I are going to give Spanish another try. I also ordered the French one, and we already have the German one, just for fun. If we make it through the guide, then I will see about ordering us an actual curriculum.
Just a side note: None of the covers on these books (except the Spanish one) look like the ones in the links. I hate these modern covers they put on everything now. Makes the books look cheap and trashy, in my not so humble opinion. If I were judging by the covers, I'd have skipped over them.

What about the covers bother you? I'm just not seeing it for some reason :)
Sounds like the Spanish should be fun. :D You can practice it on each other.
Oh, about the covers...I am just a picky old lady who much prefers the older, much more creative covers, to these modern things that all look alike. They just look very cheap. Didn't mean trashy in the normal way, I guess. Just trashy like "not good quality."
Wish you lived close and could do the Spanish with us!
