April 7th - 11th
After finishing our Sonlight 5 reading the other week, our days have been lighter and full of free reading. I had been planning on doing a Green Hour Challenge with our KEEPERS group today, but we had snow on the ground and a storm instead. Yes, I said SNOW! Oh well. There's always next week!
Here was this week's line-up:
Reading:
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

I have never heard of that book. My son loves LOTR! I will definitely have to check it out. What do you think about Truthquest history? Are the books easy to find? I'm looking at adding something to our history in the upcoming year. Have a blessed day!
I absolutely LOVE TQ. We have used it for year. You know, if you like going to the library and love literature, you'll probably like TQ. The program is not book-specific, so we just use whatever book the library has and it works well!
Since we use the library, TQ is a very reasonable way to do history/literature/Christian world view. She also has artists and composers with book suggestions, so fine arts is in there as well.
I'd invite you to join the TQ Yahoo group for more info. The link is on the TQ site.
Thanks for stopping by!
Inkheart & Secret of the Woods... Those are ones I will check out at my library. :o) Thanks for the recommendation. :o)
How is your Keepers club going? I would love to hear updates on those when you have time. :o) I am always inspired to do this more when I read about your club.
I reserved Inkheart, but our library doesn't have the other book. :o(
Thanks again for the recommendations. I love seeing what books you guys are using!
