Great Week!

It has been a great week for all of us. School is going better than it ever has before. We just all seem to have a rhythm about us. I think the heat outside is helping us all. No one wants to be outside. Jonathan is moving right along with his letters. He is starting to sound out some three letter words with assistance. FIAR is such a big hit. We have moved on the Katy No Pockets. This has got to be one of my all time favorites. We have expanded our study to marsupials and their way of life. He is loving all of the research we are doing and learning so much. We also went to the library today and he picked out a couple of books on tape. Amazingly he sits through the whole book. I think this is a good way to help with concentration.
Allison is still progressing with her multiplication tables. I am not sure why this has been so hard for her. She has already memorized some many poems, Latin prayers, and she has just learned the 24th Psalm in a matter of a couple of days. It must be the right brain dominance showing itself. We are still studying Vivaldi and his music. Art is such a big part of her life so she draws in every subject. If she writes a story it will have illustrations with it.
Aaron finished up his first module of Apologia Physical Science and of course got a perfect score on the exam. He is moving right along in Algebra 1 and high school Latin.
Morgan and Bryan have adjusted well to the new load. They both worked a lot this week so everyone is tired and ready for a nice weekend.
I am researching more about Charlotte Mason and her education model. It seems so wonderful and I guess you could say we use a CM/Classical model. More on Charlotte Mason's model to come.
