Week Four

So, we've almost made it one month!  This week, we used the story in OM3 about the founding of Carthage.  DS made a map drawing of the Mediterranean ocean, and put on where Tyre and Carthage should be.  We used this for reference: http://www.utexas.edu/courses/greeksahoy!/greece_phoenicia.jpg

We also watched this video about the Phoenician alphabet.  Some of the letter sounds as well as reading from right to left reminded DS about Arabic.

We started recorder using the 9-Note recorder method.  So far, so good.  The first lessons focus on B, A, and G...and then have a bunch of songs with those notes.  We'll do that and then possibly at the end of next week, add in E.

Math-in-Focus continues with no issues.  Started some logic too.

As for OM4, we've done the Language Arts associated with it and DS started reading, "The Search for Delicious."

I think I'm failing at the OM4 art lessons, though.  DS has zero experience with drawing lessons, so he's struggling with the approach.  Not sure what to do right now about that.
