Week 20 in CTG

This week for Bible we studied about King Saul. First, you have the Israelites asking for a King. Samuel balks, and says, "No way!" But God encourages Samuel and tells him who to choose. I guess, somehow, it is always easier to follow a person you can see with your eyes as king, than following a King you can only see with the eyes of your heart. Rabbit did a great job memorizing Psalm 23. She probably had it memorized a couple of weeks ago.

In History, we studied the Greek dark ages and some Greek mythology. Mostly it was just covering the different Gods. Rabbit loved reading The Trojan Horse. In fact, she was so excited about it, she read it to her dad at bed time. I bought the audio book version of The Children's Homer and have been listening to it while we follow along in the book. Those old Greek names can be quite intimidating to pronounce, so it is nice to just follow along in the book. This story has been harder for Rabbit to narrate. She will often summarize, but get confused about who did what. I have been having to help with the narrations a lot more with this story.

We started All About Spelling Level 4. The first step is review. I have a feeling it is going to take us a while to review all the previous phonographs and such.

All our other topics have gone pretty well.

(P.S. - I'm writing this about 3 weeks late, so it's pretty short. But, my previous post on the science for this week is the bigger highlight.)
