Follow up with Teachers

Today I checked in with Tech, Attucks and School #14 to let them know we will be taking the kids out two days early. No problems so far and finals are all scheduled to end on May 20th, Thursday. There is no school on Friday, as it is a snow make up day, which only leaves May 24, Monday and May 25th, Tuesday!

Judah is plowing through home schooling and our goal is to get through our text books by May 1st. We are planning on a tour of the library, art museum, President Benjamin Harrison's House and observing how our government works at the state capitol. Judah is also going to get a mini unit on home repairs. Judah will finish up his schooling by reading books that take place in the UK such as Robin Hood, James Herriot, King Aurther, Harry Potter... any one have any other good suggestions of books to read?

  1. Hi there:),

    Book suggestions - Secret Seven by Enid Blyton since she is a British author. It is a mystery series. Will let you know more when I research a little bit.

    Peace & Blessings,

  2. Hey guys! Thanks for sending Hannah and I the link to your blog. I'm excited to follow the Dorsey Family's exotic adventures. I trace my family lineage back through the Tudor family and into Wales, so I've also always wanted to visit the Isles. Very cool! Blessings!

  3. Chronicles of Anthropos by John White were favorites of mine at around Julian's age. Stephen Lawhead's take on Arthurian legend (the Pendragon Cycle) is worth reading, although I'd pass on the last book (Grail). He also just finished a trilogy called King Raven that puts Robin Hood in Wales at the time of the Norman Conquest.
