This week we are reading Book 3 of Hope's Revolutionary War Diaries. A9 has really enjoyed this series. I usually read 10 pages a day, well last week we were so into the story that we finished it a day early, A9 did not want me to stop reading!!
I have a feeling the same thing is going to be happening with book 3. It's so funny to see A9 get so upset over the "Redcoats" taking over Philadelphia. I had to keep reassuring her that we win in the end!!
We are almost done with the George Washington book as well, the chapters are about a page and a half long and a big font, so she has no problem reading them aloud, we read two chapters a day.
Also this week we are going to be reading the book The Star Spangled Banner by Ingri and Edgar D'Aulaire. The kids don't know the national anthem and I thought this is the right time to teach it to them. We are also going to be watching the movie The Patriot!
We have been having a great time learning about the American Revolution!
X6 will be rowing the book Grandfather's Journey... this week we are learning about Japan!
