Week Something. : )

Not sure what week we're in, but we're moving along nicely.

This past Monday, our son walked in the march for Martin Luther King, Jr.  He had a great time, as he has mentioned that Dr. King is one of his all time heroes.  (I love that!)  After he marched, we all went to a theatre and sat through a program about his life.  It was time well spent.  I love having our boy take part in local activities, and even moreso, events that are this significant.

He is still doing well in math, we will probably finish before June.  After a break, we will be going into the next year of math to ensure he doesn't lose what he's learned.

English is going well, only a couple more lessons to complete this easy curriculum we go through each year.  We will be starting R & S soon, alongside Writing with Ease, level 4.

He is now on the third book in the Percy Jackson series, and loving them.  Not sure what series we'll do next.  He's read so much this year that I'm having a hard time finding new books for our booklist.  (I guess maybe that's a good thing?)

We are still spending loads of time on the human body.  We will probably wrap it up on studying the human brain/nervous system and move on to the next system after next week.

Still plugging along in Story of the World 2.  He'd finish it in a week if I let him.

Had to take a break this week form lessons, but back to art and music next week.

**I have found a LOAD of useful websites with amazing printable worksheets on the human body, and they are FREE.  That is what has made our science unit so long, and he's loving it.  The sites also have loads of fun activities that make these things we're learning "stick"!  Maybe sometime, when I can find some time, I will post a link page.
