I enjoy seeing what people are doing too - and writing it all out is so helpful to me in processing the year and recognizing how far we've come too.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689104216675201913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006833743714206736.post-15176302583920324212017-07-05T09:21:43.658-07:002017-07-05T09:21:43.658-07:00I've had that happen too - thanks for trying a...I've had that happen too - thanks for trying again! <br /><br />That's really interesting about your son's experience with Age of Fable! Thanks for the suggestions for some alternates. I'm somewhat considering having him read the Illiad next year instead of Age of Fable, as he's already been reading that for two years and he's going to be studying Ancient Greece this next school year. It'll be a bit of a stretch, but I think he will enjoy it. <br /><br />Enjoy your time with Richelle's math book - I hope you find it as fruitful as I have!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689104216675201913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006833743714206736.post-34266004099673140382017-07-05T09:18:33.118-07:002017-07-05T09:18:33.118-07:00Thanks, Dawn!Thanks, Dawn!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689104216675201913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006833743714206736.post-4480694329453804002017-07-05T08:41:21.783-07:002017-07-05T08:41:21.783-07:00I'm impressed by the boat and your son's w...I'm impressed by the boat and your son's whittling projects, Amber.

GAH!! LOL<br />So, to sum up: handiwork and Spanish--very encouraging. I also learned from Celeste and I appreciate your resource links. :)<br />Math: very cool, I have that book and DVD from Richelle and I NEED to go through them this summer. Thanks for helping me feel that need more. No really, I mean that. ;)<br />Age of Fable: This is actually a favorite with my two boys, and they were doing it with a friend via Facebook once a week. I created a lesson plan that included some note booking, map work, and discussion/narration questions to help prompt them. We didn't do it all consistently but some of it helped. I also had them write narrations/summaries for each story. This worked really well, but maybe because they were reading and discussing it together? If you want I could send you some of my lesson plan, I'll be developing Y5 this summer (we followed the Y4 schedule, because I really wanted to use it from the beginning). If you want to replace, though, I think "Tales of Greece and Rome" by Lang, "Wonderbook for Boys and Girls" by Hawthorne, and "Heroes" by Kingsley would work. I want to say I found another on Kindle, but can't think of what it is. It was one of those free ones though, so try a search and see what comes up. :)You've probably already tried those books, but just in case. ;)<br />Tanya StoneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006833743714206736.post-61368763013278785272017-07-04T19:01:30.457-07:002017-07-04T19:01:30.457-07:00Thank you for sharing this!
