Long overdue update

Wow, it sure has been a long time since I posted anything.  We had many road bumps this fall and are finally back into our normal routine.  Hopefully we won't hit anymore bumps and we will all sail along to the end of May with a love for all things that we have come across on this journey of schooling.

In history we are moving right along learning about the Colonists and will soon be moving into the Revolutionary War.

In science we are continuing our study on the human body and moving through all the systems.  Hope and Charity will be making life size bodies and adding bones, muscles and Hope's will have all the systems labeled as well. 

Hope will be starting cursive this week and we will be using a new curriculum for this.  It is called Handwriting without tears.  Hopefully it will be true to it's name. 

We have wrapped up our study of Degas and Chopin using our new notebooking pages that I discovered on notebooking pages.com.  These have been wonderful for the girls.  It makes narration fun and gives a format to our notebooks.  They have something for every subject. 

I'll try to update each week on our daily adventures in the life of St. Therese Academy.
