We're on week 6 of our history schedule and the children are managing to complete the work set each week. Paring the reading down in Biblioplan is necessary to keep us moving steadily forward week to week in history, otherwise we get totally out of synch with any other reading we have lined up to compliment Biblioplan.
This weeks Biblioplan chapter is very full, yet I think Jay and Daisy will be able to complete it as the rest of their reading load is lite.
(Yes, I do hand the Companion to them to read individually - it's easier for us to each read it separately, now they are older, and then we discuss topics of interest during history time on Thursday. Thursday is the day we do mapping work and the day I also have them type up a history outline, or a narrative piece.

Hello Friend!
How cool that the Emperor Caterpillar eats his own skin! Yikes! Isn't that resourceful! Have you had any go into their chrysalis' yet? I'd imagine they are getting close to that phase...
I have to say thanks again for the books you are listing, for giving me new suggestions to chew on! So good to see other people list books and how they do what they do, it helps me so much!!!!
I bet your daughters loom bands this week were very clever! This week my daughter was doing the bracelets made out of embroidery thread, and knots in designs--we call them "Friendship bracelets" but I don't know if that crosses over or not to what you'd call them.
Sending you a big hug along with an all afternoon chat with pot of tea, snacks, and supreme fellowship!
Always so nice to find your comments here Tracy!
It feels a little like the visit you offered at the end.
Lovely sunny day here (so pleased the sun came back out) so you may want to have be sipping chilled water and snacking on pineapple and watermelon :)
The caterpillars are so close to chrysalis stage ... and until; Dn found him eating his newly shed skin, we had no idea they did *that*
Book sharing is my pleasure. My thanks right back to you too!
One of Daisy's friends introduced her to friendship bracelets (same name here), but she still loom bands on :/
She made a very intricate headband today.
Hope your week ahead is migraine free, and blessing filled!
