REVIEW AND LOOKING AHEAD


This week, we just stayed with our Proverbs memory verse. I want them to have it down completely before moving on.

We moved on to Michelangelo for our artist, but are going to be moving on again after the Thanksgiving break. We are all tired of these Romanist painters who painted (or sculpted) nothing but vulgar images of what is supposed to be Biblical scenes, combined with pagan gods. Ick! We will be skipping ahead quite a bit, in spite of the "importance" of a few we are skipping. What is considered important to the world is not what is important to those of us not of this world.

We started reading The Deadliest Monster this week, by Jeff Baldwin. It is a very good overview of different worldviews, with the focus on Christianity. We are liking it so far.

We finished up the Louisa May Alcott book this week for our American history. For Middle Ages, we read some chapters from Story of the Middle Ages.

We are on the next to the last Little House book, I think. It is Little Town on the Prairie.

We will take next week off for Thanksgiving, then be back for 3 weeks before the obligatory xmas break. Little Girl will be finishing up the last of her MUS book in that time, as well as her language arts book. In January, she will start with the Life of Fred fractions book, and the Junior Analytical Grammar book.

Big Girl won't really have any changes at this point.
