AO year 1, week 10

We did our morning prayer. We were unable to hold our second co-op meeting, due to illness in one of the families. Even with only three families, it is going to be tricky to find a week where EVERYONE is healthy!

We started with artist study. This is our final painting by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, "Mur.". She did better with it today, she was less stressed. I asked her to just look at it and then narrate it to me, just like she does with readings. And I reminded her that narrating never stresses her out, so not to worry, and just tell me whatever she remembers.

We took a look at lower case print letters. Before we start reading, I figured she had better learn to recognize these. She knows how to write upper case print, and now cursive. We never learned lower case print. A good thing about waiting this long to introduce it, she learned them all in about 3 minutes.  Just to recognize them, not to actually form them herself.

We caught up on yesterday's Jesse tree, and today's, as well as our advent devotional for both days.

We worked on some Christmas cards that need to go into the mail for our long-distance family members.

And we listened to a whole lot of Brahms and sang a few advent hymns.
