Weekly Report: Melody

Week 1 of 6, ending 10/3/08

Morning Time: We're reading Philippians, The Gospel Primer, and Northanger Abbey.  We worked on memorizing the 23rd Psalm and William Blake's 'Little Lamb'.

History: we read about Handel and classical music this week.  The girls spent quite a bit of time listening to the works of Handel, Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven.

Science: we only read half as much as I wanted, but we can easily catch up.  Melody is also reading one of the Christian Liberty Nature Readers on her own.  And, we saw a Blue Morpho butterfly in Madagascar last night.  How cool!

Math: Melody tends to drag her feet in math, but she's making progress.  I'm trying to watch to make sure she doesn't get behind like her older siblings did.

English:  She's reading Ginger Pye and is eager to start the other books that arrived from Amazon this week, but I won't let her until she finishes GP.  She's doing well in Mother Tongue.  She especially likes the picture study assignments, where she gets to spend some time contemplating a painting and then write about it.  She started Simply Spelling this week.  I think this will be a good fit for her.
