VP history cards with songs…found these deeply discounted and the children love the music and the pictures.

Read Alouds:

These are the books I read to the children.  I try to read a picture book or 2 chosen by Gabe before reading the chapter book each day.  Sometimes each child will chose a short book or picture book and then we will read a chapter book.

During the fall semester we completed the Little House series and are now enjoying a few Laura movies from the library.

Currently reading…In Grandma’s Attic Series (Dassah’s choice), Paddle To The Sea (Gabe’s choice)  Understood Betsy (Grace’s)  I encourage them to build with the blocks or draw while I read.  Asher is either crawling all over us or napping, depending on the day.

On Fridays our schedule is more relaxed…we catch up from the week, play piano, and do projects which take more time.

When Jesse is finished reading Pilgrims Progress for Children in the evening then he will read a biography on a missionary…to be determined.

Gabriel and Asher love to snuggle while we read and play while the girls and I are learning together.

We follow the ideas from simplycharlottemason.com for most of our learning at this time.

I will post our weekly schedule and perhaps a day in our life soon…
