I woke up to snow this morning. It was still snowing many hours later! We had to go to the grocery store this morning (shopping is later this week) for breakfast food. I wasn’t sure how much it would snow so I figured it was better to get it done early. Never go when hungry…you come home with strange, sugary food stuff.
I might have to change my background image soon…maybe. *Updated: the snow has all melted already –not changing my background yet lol!
As I write these accounts of what we do each day sometimes I think, gosh, we didn’t do such-and-such subject. But it’s difficult to say we really didn’t because so many of what we do overlaps. For Language Arts for Lee today, she did ‘nothing’ {according to my marks here} but she definitely did Grammar (which is a part of Language Arts) in both her Latin and Greek. For Fox, I’ve marked that he did nothing for History/Geography but again even in Composer Study we learned a wee bit about the geographical location where Mozart was born. Saints & Heroes as well of Age of Fable are both History.
Eh, it’s good I can recognize it, right? I had thought about changing the way I record it but I’ve been doing it this way for quite awhile. Old habits die hard lol. I’ll leave it for now.

Both:
Composer Study/Art Study/Hymn: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (A Young Scholar’s Guide to Composers {we listened to a couple of suggestions in the book but am still trying to find a good one for Requiem}); Albert Bierstadt (The Wetterhorn) {since we are ‘new’ to this portion I’ve simply put it as my desktop image for us to look at. I would love to print it off in color to look at it but that’s not going to happen yet. We had a good time talking about what we saw in the painting}; Christmas Carols {today: 12 Pains of Christmas- funny little video at the end of the post- I’m switching the ‘carols’ up between the classics and newer/funny ones during the month of December}

We watched about 30 minutes of A Man for All Seasons yesterday…it drags {I mean it is very slow going- not that it is bad}. LOL but we are used to fast paced modern movies. When I asked Lee what she thought of it compared to the reading, she just said that there wasn’t all the scenes with water that were so slow in the reading. We will tackle another part of it this afternoon.

On Wednesdays he usually has Young Marines and so I lessen his load a bit but drill has been canceled for tonight. Decided to let it be 
Oh, you guys saw some snow this week. We very rarely see that. Got some last year so probably won't see any again for 10 or so years, or at least that is the record of the past.
ReplyDeleteI saw in one of your posts that you guys use Fred's Algebra, how do you like it? Do you like Fred's math better than Saxon?
