"Stand Firm and Hold Fast . . ."

Summer Reading Update

DD7's reading ability has really taken off.  She has read the following books "all by her own"

*The Tree House Mystery by Gertrude Chandler Warner

*The One-Eyed Giant (Book 1 of Tales from the Odyssey) by Mary Pope Osborne

*Little  House in the Big Woods (she is currently reading this one)

I am amazed at how her reading just clicked! 

DD9 could not bring herself to finish Mary Poppins so she laid it aside.  She has been reading non-stop!

She has read the following:

Betsy-Tacy by Maud Hart Lovelace (another book I read to her when she was smaller, she LOVED it)

Bety-Tacy and Tib

The Mouse of Amherst

Victoria: May Blossom of Brittania (The Royal Diaries Series) by Anna Kirwan (in progress)

"Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours." 2 Thessalonians 2:15

Description
I am a Catholic homeschooling mom of 4 girls. We have used a variety of curricula and methods over the past ten years but we always return to the traditional classical model. Our morning studies focus on the basics - Latin, Arithmetic, Spelling and Writing. We spend our afternoons reading, knitting, baking, sewing and biking. Isn't homeschooling wonderful?
