I might just end up buying it again, I really might. :) Third grade sounds wonderful at your house. I just noticed you changed your blog-title!!<BR/>Lee<BR/>PS Have you read any of Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairy poems? They'd blend nicely into your love of nature & poetry, and her illustrations are just delightful!my5wolfcubshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296523746527569586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35451298.post-54312360182345956232008-03-21T14:09:00.000-04:002008-03-21T14:09:00.000-04:00I just stumbled upon your blog last night and have...I just stumbled upon your blog last night and have been browsing on and off today. It will be a year before I plan on doing a formal science instruction starting in 1st grade with my son, but I came across this site the other day and thought you may find it interesting for your science curriculum. http://www.noeoscience.com/index.html<BR/>I am leaning toward this for next year and plan on utilizing our local library for supplemental reading. I haven't found any negative comments on the curriculum as of yet. God bless you and your family in your homeschooling adventure.

We recently spent some time with George Frederick Handel and his "Messiah." Two books I found at our library, both were great were, "Handel, who knew what he liked" by MT Anderson, and "Handel and the Famous Sword Swallower of Halle" by Bryna Stevens. If your library has them, they're both worth reading - the second focuses more on his young childhood, and the first more on his adult life, as he tried to bring opera to England. Both suitable for grammar stage, well-written, nice pictures, good living books. :)<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>Melissa (MelissaMinNC)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
