SL Week 29 "A" Left-Over's Week "LOW" Feb. 13-17th 2012

Lots of Add-In's this week:
Who Is God? by Apologia.  I'm liking this book more and more each week.  We have been doing our SL Read Aloud Bible readings at night with Dh.  This week we read from Col and Psalms.

"Geography Songs" is still serving us well.  We focused on South Asia this week and used our large dry-erase map to test dd's comprehension.

Composser of the week: MOZART!  We had a really great week on Mozart.  We listened to "Mad About Mozart" cd each day of the week.  We also had a book with an included cd that we read and listened to called "The Magic Flute".  Listened to this disc two days.

Books on Mozart: "Lives of the Musicians" by Kathleen Krull (Ch. on Mozart)
"Focus on Composers" by Teacher Created Materials, Inc. (Ch. on Mozart)
"Great Composers" by Pierro Venturea (Ch. on Mozart)
"The Magic Flute" by Anne Gatti

Our Read Aloud: Imprisoned In The Golden City by Dave and Neta Jackson

Dd's Reader: was  " Betsy Ross: Designer of Our Flag" by Ann Weil


Daily Hymns were from a cd Giz gave us called "Praise and Worship" which isn't on amazon either!  We focused on "Standing on the Promises".

We had not done our poetry from last week (A Child's Intro to Poetry) so we did it this week--on Hilaire Belloc.
