Week 26 in CTG

I had to do some adjusting to get our lighter days to line up with Wednesday again. With P.E. class for the boys and dance class for Rabbit, it is just too much to have a "regular" day on Wednesday. So, we ended up doing 3 days of mostly just the 3 "R's" and then catching up on some art project we hadn't done yet. So, it work out great getting caught up.

This week we covered Elijah's life in Bible history, and then learned about India in World History. we covered Hinduism and Buddhism. It is great to know that Rabbit has such a firm foundation in God's word and can see the holes in these religions.

For science, we didn't do the smell and taste activities. They seemed too complicated. We read the book and discussed. However, we did do "Seeing through Things" and "Where Was That Again?" They were both easy to do. The "Where Was That Again?" experiment was interesting. Rabbit could see from one eye better when the cup was closer and when the cup was farther away, but when it was in the middle (about 2 feet away) she had a hard time judging distance.

We started on Part II of The Children's Homer this week. It has been interesting to get to hear Odysseus' adventures.

Otherwise, we've been cruising along pretty well in the rest of school. In writing, I counted a letter she wrote to her pen pal as writing one day. Then we started on the next Writing Strands lesson. And we love listening to Handel. A lot of his music seems real light and airy.
