We are chugging away at Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. The kids love it...always begging for a few more chapters. We are also doing a unit study on the 12 Olympians as we go. We have done a paper mache Mt. Olympus with little figures to put on it as we study each one.We are building a lapbook based on it.I am pleased with the improvement in handwriting as we do worksheets to go with the studies. We are also working multiplication tables like mad. It is clicking better with Trinity and Christian than it is with Gavin and Logan, but we are getting there.Schoolhouse Rocks has some great songs to help, so we did that this morning too.
It is HOT today. Getting to 90. I am thinking of heading to the beach, maybe after the library.We found a book that forgot to get returned...oops.
