I had a lot of good intentions until everything was turned on it's head with a little man turning 8 and a birthday party followed by a little 8 year old being sick for two days! Sigh
In our home school this week…
- We continued investigating the life and times of Claude Monet by watching some YouTube movies. I found a three hour docudrama which has been a wonderful journey into the lives and times of Monet and his contempories.
- We are also continuing our studies of in Music appreciation.
- Had a Lynley Dodd fest and read Dogs Never Climb Trees, Schnitzel von Krumm Forget-Me-Not and The Other Ark.
- Enjoyed beginning Linnea in Monet's Garden
- We loved reading The Lighthouse Keeper's Breakfast.
- As part of our British Studies we started watching TITANIC The Mission. So very interesting.

Wow a new supplier, how do you know these things!? Just checked out Butterfly Bookstore and am very excited to see they will be carrying Queen homeschooling. I've long wanted to see their products. Here's to hoping they will deliver goods timely and professionally. (Do I sound a little sour? mmm)
