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…
