UPDATE

We are having a "light" week this week, since tomorrow is Big Girl's birthday. We have been reading about George Washington Carver for U.S. history, and Marco Polo for Middle Ages.

We started Fra Angelico for our artist. I'll be glad when we get through these Roman Catholics who painted nothing but graven images. Ugh.

UPDATE/ LATE WEEKLY REVIEW

I didn't get around to doing a weekly review this past weekend, so I will catch up now.

For Bible, we have finished up both Corinthian epistles, and started on Romans today.

For poetry, we are still reading from a poetry book each morning. The one we are using now is called The Best Loved Poems of the American People. I found it at Goodwill.

We are still reading about Norway for our geography/culture study.

We started a new artist - Jan Van Eyck. The girls like him a bit better than Giotto.

Last week, we read a biography of Nelly Bly for U.S. History. We also started reading Around the World in 80 Days, by Jules Verne. This week, we started a biography of George Washington Carver.

For Middle Ages, we are still reading Adam of the Road and The Wonder Clock, and reading from our spine books, a bit each day.
