Week in Review 12/2/11

It's amazing just how far off track a long weekend can throw you. We have had a slow week. We're working on the basics and focusing on the season.

Latin, math, language arts, religion for James. Sean has alternated his seat work with his recitation and reading this week. His memory work wasn't too intense so it has been a good week to be a bit more laid back. There has been a lot of play and general boy silliness.

















James finished Robinson Crusoe and is enjoying The Wizard of Earthsea.

We started our Jesse Tree yesterday with Geraldine Mccaughrean's book. I will post a picture next week when it has a few more ornaments on it.

Our manger is out for the boys to fill with strips of cloth over the next few weeks to prepare for the Christ Child.

This week we have read

and we've started

We love Strega Nona. And I didn't realize Madeliene L'Engle had a Christmas book; I will have to check our library for that!

We love the Strega Nona books! Tomie dePaolo did a book signing up here recently. I couldn't make it, but a friend brought me a signed copy of his newest book, Strega Nona's Gift. :-)
