WEEKLY REVIEW


We started a new Bible memory passage this week. Philippians 4:4-7. The girls are still reviewing the "old" one, as well as each of them doing one of their poems each day.

We are going to be finishing up our Classical Karaoke for Kids book before the first of the year, so we can start back to doing one composer at a time.

I skipped quite a few artists that were on our list and we went with Pieter Bruegel the Elder for our current artist. His paintings are quite detailed and interesting to look at.

Our current country of study is Denmark.

We are pausing with our periodic table studies until after the first of the year, so we can finish up the Classical Karaoke book. We will begin again in January.

Still reading one or two poems a day from our anthology.

Still reading The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible and The Deadliest Monster daily. These two books are fascinating and contain much truth and much to think on.

Still reading Little Town on the Prairie a few days per week.

For Middle Ages, Big Girl is reading The White Company, by Doyle. I read from our TQ book and from Story of the Middle Ages spine this week on the Hundred Years War and various things surrounding that period.

For American history, we are reading White Star, a Dog on the Titanic. We will also be watching a documentary on the Titanic from Netflix, whenever it gets here.

Big Girl continues in her LBC math book, a couple lessons per week. She also does some writing on the computer every day, and we go over it together. She is still doing one vocabulary lesson per week, reading from her biology and history books, and is finishing up Chosen By God. She also did a spelling lesson this week.

Little Girl did her last MUS Delta lesson this week. She will do the final tests next week, then work on a few problems per day that I will print up for her until the end of the year. She will start the LOF fractions book then. She will be finishing up her CLE Language Arts 4 next week. Not sure if we will start the new level then, or wait. She has started doing a page daily in her Maps and Geography workbook again. She also completed a spelling lesson, and did her independent reading.
