Re-read The Witches by Roald Dahl

We've been reading through R&S's Proper Manners and Health Habits.  It is a book intended to be used in Grade 2.  Somehow we never got to it.  We're giving a quick read through before we donate it.

Math 5 - 26/170   Reviewing fractions (adding and subtracting, reducing to lowest terms, etc.)
Spelling - Reviewing lesson seven in The Logic of English - spellings of the long "o" sound.  Phonograms - oa, oe.  Grammar - article usage.
English - direct objects, predicate nouns, proper usage of raise and rise.
Lively Latin Big Book 1 - 2nd declension neuter, Tarquin review, vocabulary D.

Classical Studies (Famous Men of the Middle Ages) - "Alaric the Visigoth."  Listened to a free LibriVox recording.  The reader for this chapter had a Sottish accent.  It was wonderful to listen to but it did make it difficult since we weren't familiar with the story.
Christian Studies 1 - 19 Amalek; Jethro and Moses; Ten Commandments.
American History - Plains Indians
Science - 16 Weather Patterns - fronts, barometric pressure
Music - listened to excerpts from Mozart's "The Magic Flute"

Not the most productive week ever, but we were consistent with the basics.
