We listened to some Schubert before starting school this morning.
We sang our hymn.
Worked on some cursive. She learned the letter P.
We took our second look at Jacques-Louis David's "The Coronation of Napoleon and Josephine" and Fina narrated it again and we looked at it together.
Fina did her math page 12E.
We read about woodpeckers in chapter 11 of The Burgess Bird Book and we looked up the different kinds of woodpeckers online and watched video and listened to their calls and their pecking sound.
We sang our folksong.
We talked about finding north by looking at the stars. We looked at Finding the Constellations by H.A. Rey and saw the map of the Big Dipper and its pointer stars pointing towards Polaris (the North Star, which is always north!), which is the tip of the handle of the Little Dipper. We also looked at Orion and his belt in the south, and Sirius, the Big Dog's name tag, the brightest star in the sky! We will go out at night to experience all of this in the sky.
Fina read me a few pages from her Berenstain Bears Bible aloud.
We read two more poems from The Oxford Book of Children's Verse.
We reviewed her recitations and Fina learned the sixth line of her current Twelfth Night passage.
In the afternoon, Fina got out skiing with a friend in the forest and on the creek. Such fun!
Tonight we are holding our first Manitoba Charlotte Mason gathering and mini-seminar. It is very exciting!
(Edited in the morning to say that we had 18 people, plus 2 babies, plus the 3 of us. People came from Winnipeg, the Steinbach area and farther off! Some drove 90 kms to attend. It was such a wonderful time of sharing and learning together and getting to meet real CM people from Manitoba. Who would have known!?)
