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.
