The Johnson family's discoveries regarding classical education
May. 7, 2007
May Update
I'm not sure much has changed since my last update. But time keeps marching on. Youngest Son and I are working with my Beloved at least 2 or 3 days a week. I have been taking over invoicing, answering a few emails, packing, cutting metal with a band saw (sometimes), while Youngest Son has been learning the art of annodizing and dying aluminum.
Our math was slipping, but I think we are making upward progress again. He is beginning to enjoy the CD: Quarter Mile Math. If anyone is interested, you can get a free sample CD on their website.
We are currently reading a G.A. Henty book, The Young Carthaginian, which is, of course, proving most interesting. Youngest Son has read a little in a recently acquired book about Hannibal's march through the Alps, and can occasionally insert a comment about what is about to happen. That is neat!
Formal science study is minimal. We did just purchase Signs and Seasons, the new book on Classical Astronomy, and we are beginning to make a little headway into that. What an awesome book. So far, I am very pleased and impressed with the quality of the information and the book itself.
We are taking each day as the Lord sends it, and we trust Him for the results.
I will continue to post as I am able, in the midst of our busy-ness. Bye for now.
