We're looking forward to our week ahead, me probably more than the Jay and Daisy, as I'm enjoying the selection of items we're using this year.
I've purposely included the page numbers we've selected out to read with Biblioplan just encase other N.Z or Australian home educators, that read our blog, are ever interested to use Biblioplan's Early Modern Time History Companion with less of a U.S. history focus. I have speed read through the U.S. history focus sections myself though; so interesting!
*Reader19, if you decided to eventually go on and get this companion text I'm sure you'll appreciate the U.S. content too!!
It's only 4 days of scheduled learning for us this week as we had a field trip lined up to enjoy as a family... sometime before Saturday comes around again.

** book put aside due to content issues. I'd mentally misplaced that info :-o ... (thank you S.M for the alert!!!! So nice to have someone watching my back too ♥). Daisy has already read most of the content involving Peter and so we turned that into a good opportunity for discussion.
