Todays Update

Well the past two days have been good ones for our homeschool.. heres what we have been doing:

We have 40 latin terms memorized and will start our 5th chapter of Latin for Children. We LOVE this program.. it is actually FUN!

The kids are continuing to listen to The Tale of Despereaux.. and are LOVING it.. The boys today are listening and following along to a story on tape called "the Bears on Hemlock Mountain" I have decided to get books on tape for them and make sure each has his own book for following along. They seem to like it.

We went to the library yesterday:
Cat checked out "The prince and the pauper" for her quiet reading time. And today we read together "Wilma unlimited : how Wilma Rudolph became the world's fastest woman".
Joseph just had to have a 20lb book from the library called: "Birds of North America" and stayed up WAY to late last night reading it.. He really likes the fact that there is a color coded map of the US to show where the birds are in summer, winter, or permenant residence... he also likes that it has a bar at the top with the scientific names of each bird.. (funnyhuh?)


I was happy to find a book/cd/tape kit that is called Multiplication Rap and we also checked out Multiplication Rock by Schoolhouse Rock (video). Little by little those facts are getting into Cats brain! (yipee).

I also checked out a video about Albert Einstien.. so far its been good.

I still need to order my history book.. Story of the World #2.. will do that in a few minutes. I am ready to get that in so we can get our history going again. I am missing that! :)
