February 22, AO year 1, week 13

I finally got a shelf at our homeschooling spot near the table. No wonder a box and piles around it weren't working well. Look how much stuff I had right here!

We listened to some Schubert this morning.  We are using Spotify now, but I don't appreciate that, in the free version, they interrupt a track to give an ad. Annoying. Fina did some loom knitting while we listened.

We did our lenten devotions. Then we started reviewing our memorization box.  We reviewed one from each section. Fina wanted to learn one of our newer poems, "Independence" from When We Were Very Young. We also read a new one from their, "Market Square."

We reading the readings for this upcoming Sunday. We sang the psalm and read the readings. I had Fina narrate the Gospel reading, Luke 13:1-9, with the parable of the fig tree. She narrated it well.

We sang our new Holy and Memorial Acclamation. She sang along.

I read Chapter 8 "Vortigern and King Constans" and Fina narrated it well to me. We looked at the map of Europe to see where Britain and France and Rome (Italy) are.

We added our first bible verse to our memorization box, Psalm 118:24. "This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it." She learned it quickly.

And we started section 2 of our math. Counting to 20. We did 2A, 2C2 and 2D. We will finish up next time.

We took our first look at Jacques-Louis David's Coronation of Napoleon and Josephine at Notre-Dame. I gave info about it, then we looked at it, turned it over and narrated it best she could. Next week, I will have her sketch something of it.
