Another full week. Little Girl seems to have forgotten her cursive, so we are going to work on that again. I will just make out worksheets for her. I added multiplication copy work this week, so she can get those facts down thoroughly before she moves into the harder stuff in pre-algebra. She knows a lot more of them than I thought, just by using the charts I made for her.

Big Girl is really slogging through The House of the Seven Gables. I am letting her listen to the audio book. Hawthorne wrote during the Romantic period, which means he used an awful lot of words to say a very little thing. :-)
