Schoolwork Accomplished:
*Worked on Music Composer's unit again-finished the pages on composers, we only have the orchestra section to finish now. This involved looking up info on the composers online and we listened to some of their famous compositions.
*Silent reading: Nancy Drew The Secret of the Old Attic
*Prince Caspian lapbook work-we finished the war of the roses and the armor of God, plus some other minor artistic details.
Although this is only a few things, the composer unit took up close to 2 hours. The lapbook stuff took quite a while as well. We did start an excersize tape in the afternoon, but were interrupted so we only got about 10 minutes into it. Grammy visited in the evening also.
