WEEKLY REVIEW


We had a great full week, with the girls now "officially" in grades 10 and 6.

We read from Hebrews this week, and our new memory passage is Psalm 1.

We went over three more elements from the periodic table, using the online videos and book and charts.

Our new artist is Rembrandt. Our composer is Pachelbel.

We continued to read a poem daily, as well as continuing the book, The Deadliest Monster. The girls have been using the stuff they are learning in this book as they are doing their own fun reading. :-)

We started a biography on Albert Einstein this week, and read from our spine books for Middle Ages history. We also started a book on Joan of Arc today.

Big Girl did her math, systematic theology, spelling, and English. She read Rip Van Winkle and a short biography of Washington Irving for literature. She is also reading Men of Iron.

Little Girl did her math, language arts, reading, and map work. She is still reading a Wishbone book on Hansel and Gretel, a COFA book on Walt Disney, Misty's Twilight by Marguerite Henry, and her Nature Friend magazine. She finished up the CLP Nature Reader. She started a Geology book by Dr. John D. Morris and Book of Marvels by Richard Halliburton.

Thanks! We have a good time doing it too.
It is hardest to think about our Big Girl only having a few more years left. :-( Where did the time go?
