SL Week 31
A usual SL IG format for us; with a few add-in's. We actually got a lot accomplished this week (even with the extra warm weather around us!). For SL we had our bible and Dd had her Discover's Bible. The books we are working on are Imprisoned in the Golden City, Naya Nuki and Calico Bush. Dd read the Naya Nuki book on her own; but I read aloud IITGC and CB books. Both we very good.We enjoyed: "A Child's Introduction to Poetry" and "American Indian Prayer Guide".
We did a good job on the "Sing the Word: Great in Counsel and Mighty in Deed" cd and on our add-in cd from Giz: "Praise and Worship" "O Come Let Us Adore Him" was our featured song this week.
We fit in more focus on adverbs...I'm having Dd repeat the definition a few times each day for the past 2 weeks to really understand how adverbs work. We added in the book: "Adverbs-The Magic of Language" by Ann Heinrichs.
We started another Lamplighter book this week: Buried In the Snow by Franz Hoffman. Lamplighter has such a FANTASTIC collection of books!
