Friday was a low-key Poetry day for us. We had an eventful day with the cable company (a 6 hour ordeal) so thank goodness we're flexible homeschoolers! So I'm playing catch-up now.
We memorized the first paragraph of Longfellow's The Arrow and the Song from this book...
J has really improved her reading. We read two really, really "feel good" books yesterday we ALL enjoyed by Douglas Wood.
So many books I want to read with the kids right now. Between recommendations at http://www.chinaberry.com/ and http://www.montessoriservices.com/ I could been reading 3 books a day to them!!!
In History, C and I read about the Hanging Gardens of Babylon so I have reservced a library video on the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The longer we homeschool the more I realize how little I know, how much I need to learn, and how poor my education actually was (sorry Mom and Dad, I know you paid a lot of money in Catholic school tuition). But I'm learning now!
John is finally home and completely exhausted so the kids are thrilled. Yesterday I had major trauma with a house alarm that went nuts and a cable malfunction which of course took him less than 10 minutes to fix once he got home. See, this is why I married him (that and his bug-squashing abilities of course).
Have a great weekend, looks like we're in for a lot of rain ! Yay! We desperately need it here after weeks of FL wildfires.
