WEEKLY REVIEW


Back to work this week. We are in 1 Corinthians in our Bible reading. The girls have pretty much memorized the books of the Bible in order. We have just been reading a book of poems for our poetry, instead of focusing on a particular poet. For artist study, we are still on Giotto. We found a big book on him at the library and I use one of his online paintings as my computer desktop every couple days. The girls look at it and discuss it. For our composer study, we have started the Themes to Remember books and cds. We will finish them before starting back at the "beginning" with our composers one at a time.

We finished up our book on Thomas Edison this week. We started two books for Middle Ages: The Wonder Clock and Adam of the Road.

Big Girl and I finished our second lesson in Spanish.

Little Girl is close to the end of her Math-U-See Delta book, and we are taking a break of sorts to work on her multiplication tables. She already knows many of them just from use, but we are using some online games and one I downloaded to really learn them well before moving on. Meanwhile, she does a couple long division problems each day to keep that fresh. When she finishes Delta, she will move right into the Life of Fred Fractions book.
