Every Thursday, it is our music day. My children are in choir, violin, piano lessons.
We did our new month's hymn: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring and the poem is The Rainy Day by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. We are still studying Boticelli for art, however, we are studying Primavera instead of Fortitude this month.
My older son had a FIRST Lego League meeting on Fridays. My younger son is my soccer child. Monday is recreational soccer practice. Tuesday is travel soccer practice. Friday is travel practice. I think that I covered the week.

Is Grammar-Land by E. Nesbitt?
I have been meaning to get Christian Liberty Readers. I hear good things about them.

It is by E. Nesbit. My son just loves this program. We sit a cuddle up together. He is actually quiet as I read it to him.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog.
I enjoy your weekly reports. :)
Yes, our studies this year are very similar.
My one regret is that we did not begin our Latin studies sooner-I wish we were on LC 2 as well
~Have a very wonderful week-end.
