we started the morning watching an old movie, Crossroads, where a young talented man befriends an old blues player that sold his soul to the devil to be a great bluesman. they go on a journey together in hopes of finding a lost song... good movie and the boys enjoyed it.
Then they wrote in their journals about what they had accomplished yesterday.
We took a side trip to the dollar store to get some new workbooks to use for this years subjects.
Today was language arts, and we started lesson 1 from the Simply grammar curriculum by Charlotte Mason. A very easy way to teach grammar fundamentals. Part one is the 2 parts of what makes a sentence a sentence, the subject and what is said about the subject.
We had lunch, which they helped make, and they quietly read for a while from their novels for their upcoming book report.
