St. Matthew ( Sept. 21st.)

Lectionary Readings

A gorgeous painting

The Twelve Apostles by Marianna Mayer

Ideas from Catholic Culture ( a wonderful resource to inspire you)

Apostle Cookies for tea time (you really must stop and take a break, right?)

St. Michael and All Angels ( Sept. 29th.)

Lectionary Readings

The story and church tradition plus information about angels

A painting to study (there are so many!)

Dragon Bread: photos and the recipe & story

Poetry: Poetry For Young People Series: Lewis Carroll

Geography: Europe

Natural History: Bambi by Felix Salten (continued)

History & Literature: The Trojan War and Ancient Greece (continued: See August Lesson Plans)

Math: Saxon 6/5

Science: Biology taught along with an Art class by two wonderful moms from our homeschool group.
                 The combination of science and art  promises to be a lively and engaging way to explore
                 the  living world.

As always, this is only "Plan A." The plan has to flex with real life as it unfolds. Sometimes our
distractions are pure pleasure (an exciting road trip to Grandma & Grandpa's house) and sometimes
they are not so pleasant (like the nasty cold that worked its way through our household last month).

We flex. We do what we can with God's help.

Blessings on your learning time this month!
