The girls and I are heading to my parent's for a few days so our school week was three days instead of four or five. 

Math, L. Arts, Latin, Bible - nothing extraordinary to report or manage.

Science - the younger girls explored earthquakes, volcanoes, and geysers this week.  That included a trip to the library for several non fiction videos and books. 

Tapestry of Grace - We studied the Byzantine Empire.  We read about Justinian the Great and the Code of Justinian, Gregory the Great and Gregorian Chant (Music Mom had fun with that one), and dove into Benedictine Monasteries.  It was a fascinating study for all and held my attention as well.    History books will travel across the state.  Writing assignments will wait until next week. 

Music - Instruments will travel too.  We're all anxious to start lessons in a couple of weeks. 

Art - waiting on the remodel before we tackle that.  Most of our history projects are included in Artistic Pursuits.  We might lump them over Christmas break for fun. 

Overall, school is going well.  Dan is going to tutor Hannah in a couple of subjects in the evenings.  It seems that a bit of reinforcement from Dad will help with the idea that school is Mom's invention.  LOL!

Having Dan tutor... good idea!

I think I might steal that idea.

I have developed a 3 ring binder method of having the kiddos keep track of their school for the day -- so they can report to Daddy what they have done. So having his "tutor" a child - specially - might give some uumph where needed.

I love reading your blog AmyKate. Thanks for sharing with us!
