I LOVE MONDAYS!!!

Okay, I don't think I have ever said that before, and I'm not sure if I will continue to say it much longer, but right NOW, I DO love Mondays. Monday means Bailey comes in the morning and we get to start a new week of fun and learning. That might sound corny, but since we aren't piled up in textbooks all day, the learning IS fun! In fact, I am seriously tempted to do more living books for more subjects...but I'm going to keep on with what we've been doing for now.

New addition: Spelling Wisdom! I got this from the SimplyCharlotteMason.com site...it looks really good. It's basically 140 lessons (in each book) with an excerpt from great literature...the child is to study the short piece and then identify words within that seem tricky to them. Study those words. Then, write out the excerpt from dictation. Anything that is spelled wrong is immediately covered up and corrected so that the child doesn't spend any time looking at the wrong spelling of the word(s). Cool!

I'm really interested to see what happens next in Henty...the last chapter was the best so far!

Okay, off to bed I go. Wait--it was just 11pm...how'd it get so late??? :)
