I'm glad to be back in our routine this week. Unfortunately, it won't last long before it is interrupted by Thanksgiving, and again by Xmas. I will be glad when January comes and we have a long time before anymore breaks. All these little breaks every time you turn around are a pain.
This week, we read Philemon and started 1 Timothy. I decided we needed to start doing some Bible memorizing, so our first passage that we are working on is Proverbs 3:5-8. I want to do passages that have practical use, that are handy to have in mind for situations that come up in life. We get in enough pure theology on an everyday basis. Also, I started having one of the girls (alternating) read a Psalm out loud and discuss it each day. This is hard for Little Girl right now, but she will get better.
We started reading about Finland this week. We are still reading from a poetry anthology each day, as well as the girls reciting one of our old memorized poems each day. We are also still going through the Themes to Remember book, and the periodic table that we have been doing for a while now. Our current artist is Da Vinci, if I haven't already mentioned it.
Big Girl wrote a long paper on cat genetics as her writing assignment this week. I go over her writing with her daily and we correct and edit together. I think she will learn simply by the repetition.
We finished up a book on Theodore Roosevelt. For Middle Ages, we read some chapters online from Our Island Story.
