Semester 2, Week 8
What I’m Reading: Lavender Blue Murder (A Teashop Mystery #21), A Dark and Stormy Tea (A Teashop Mystery #24), and Lemon Curd Killer (A Teashop Mystery #25) by Laura ChildsI started reading the teashop mystery series quite a long time ago. I would read one or two new ones a year. By the time I…
Semester 2, Week 7
What I’m Reading: The Living Page: Keeping Notebooks with Charlotte Mason by Laurie BestvaterI don’t know how long I’ve had this on my TBR, but I finally broke down and bought a copy. It’s a good how-to on notebooking for the Charlotte Mason method. Even though I already have a good handle on how to…
Semester 2, Week 6
What I’m Reading: Spring Magic by D.E. StevensonWhat a delightful read. I saw this book mentioned in a book subscription and put it on my TBR. I ended up getting a copy while I was ordering school books. I found out that D.E. Stevenson is related to Robert Louis Stevenson of Treasure Island. What a…
Semester 1, Week 5
What I’m Reading: An Experiment in Criticism by C.S. LewisI don’t know what prompted me to finally read this. I’m so glad I did. I thought it would be a very difficult read. While there were parts I didn’t understand, I got the gist of what he was saying. I think it also helped inform…
Semester 2, Week 4
What I’m Reading: Black Ships Before Troy: The Story of the Iliad and The Wanderings of Odysseus: The story of the Odyssey by Rosemary Sutcliff My husband’s favorite books are Rosemary Sutcliff’s Eagle of the Ninth series. I will eventually get around to reading them, but I thought I’d start with some familiar stories first. …
Semester 2, Week 3
What I’m Reading: Murder at Vicarage and The Body in the Library by Agatha ChristieA few years ago I completed my quest to read all of Agatha Christie’s books. Now I’m making my way through the Marple mysteries in order. I was so scattered in my read through of all the other novels that this…
Semester 2, Week 2
What I’m Reading: Howards End by E.M. Forster I’m reading this to follow along with The Literary Life Podcast. This isn’t a book I would have chosen on my own. I didn’t particularly like it, but I didn’t hate it. I didn’t really like the style of writing jumping from one event to the next…
Semester 2, Week 1
What I’m Reading: Abigail Adams: Witness to a Revolution by Natalie BoberI don’t think I meant to read this book in its entirety, but I did and I liked it. I’ve checked out a pile of pre-reading books from the library in my usual fashion of seeing what’s available and if I’m going to assign…
Fourth Grade Curriculum – Second Semester
* Updates * to the beginning of the year I really like our adjustment to semesters this school year. We fill so much of our school year with real life experiences that it is incredibly difficult to follow a traditional three 12-week terms in a Charlotte Mason education. On track, going well, no changes: Bible,…
Semester 1 Exams
We made it! *huge sigh of relief* I did not know how exams would go this time. Our semester has been so spread out that I wasn’t sure how much my son would remember. He did so well, and I am so proud of him. I don’t if it’s because I kept better track of…
