The Thoughtful Spot

What have we been up to?

We've

  • reminded ourselves what some common math symbols mean.
  • followed Christian a little farther on his pilgrimage, and learned that it is easier going out of the way when we are in, than going in when we are out.
  • finished one Swedish book and begun another.
  • read about Robert the Bruce and added a page to the Books of Time.
  • made a couple of cute mini books.
  • learned a little bit more about our tree.
  • learned a poem and a passage of Scripture, and begun working on others.
  • listened to some Mendelssohn and gotten to know a new painting by Cassatt.
  • read a few chapters in Charlotte's Web, which we are all enjoying immensely.
  • made a couple of pages in Rebecca's ABC book and Annalissa and Katja's Swedish word books.
  • talked about shapes and colours.
  • learned to be a little more patient and work a little more carefully.

Annalissa has also earned the right to have a hymn book in church by learning to read the hymn "Voici l'enfant nous est né."  (The rule in our house is that hymn books are reserved for those who are able to read them.)
