It has been a good week. James is coasting through the ratios and proportions lessons in his math text. Latin this week was review. We're back on track with history and science. The next weeks of grammar will not be released until mid-late October, so I am spreading the lessons out a bit until we get the next batch. Writing is going well, though James will try to gloss over a step here and there if I don't stay on top of it.
Each of Sean's literature selections have been a big hit. I love that they are lined up with the seasons and holidays.
He has had no problem memorizing not only the recitation and Bible passage for the week, but the poems and his catechism questions as well. It will be a lot by the end of the year so I will have to get a system going to rotate through everything. Otherwise, recitation is going to take an hour every morning! The Simply Charlotte Mason site has a straightforward index card system that I'll most likely use.
While James has managed a full week, Sean and I have slacked off a bit the last two days. Sean and Chris and I finally had a sunny Thursday to walk over to story time and this morning was spent tearing apart the younger boys' bedroom and closet. I was delighted to find that Sean can fit into many of James's old size 6 clothes and Chris can wear all of the 24 month footie pajamas. We will still need to pick up some things for all three boys, but it will be far less than I had anticipated.

That CM Index Card System works well for us, although that's been on the back-burner lately around here. I recommend it. :)
Thanks Kristie. I think it will be just the thing. :)
Sounds like a good week. Enjoy the warm weather--it's will get old in your neck of woods!
Sounds like a good week. We put our flannel sheets on last week too even though it warmed up right after we did.
