More about Joseph this week. Genesis 43-46 and corresponding pages from Journey Through the Bible.
First we read, "After the Heroic Age," from Young Folks' History of Greece by Charlotte Yonge. In theory it was a good idea, but quite honestly it was a little hard to follow. Maybe I was tired or something. So we explored Ancient Greeks on the BBC website and that reviewed a lot of what was just read. Then, from Famous Men of Greece, we read "Lycurgus" (Sparta) and "Draco & Solon" (Athens). To help summarize the two city-states we read from Story of the World v1, chapter 22. We also looked at corresponding pages from Usborne's Greeks.
Nothing this week. We are getting ready to start a unit on birds.
The Iliad for Boys and Girls by Alfred Church. We listened to chapters 1-6.

*C* was supposed to learn mental addition strategies, but he said, "Mommy I already do that when I add numbers." So I guess it was more of a review. :)

For the hopelessly inept technophobe, how does one download to an MP3 player and create a zip file? I like the idea of audio story telling, but I am at a loss as how to do this. Any insight? Wow! You have your hands full with the kids. You seem like you get a lot done. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. I don't own an MP3 player. I downloaded it to my computer and burned it to a CD so that we could listen to it in the car on errand day.
ReplyDeleteThank You!! :)
Thanks for including all the links. What version of PLL are you using and how do you like it?
ReplyDeleteI'm using the Hillside Edition. I really like how it's put together. First of all, it's spiral bound so it lays flat without fighting with it. Secondly, most of the pictures are in color and that's nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's working out very well for us.
Another good week. You're getting into the groove after the baby. :)
ReplyDeleteKuddos to you, Audrey, for much accomplished!
