Dawn K Homeschool

A kind person on http://www.paperbackswap.com/ sent me some extra goodies with a large order that I placed.  This books is one that she sent, and though I love the book, I already have it.  So, I thought I'd host another book give-away on my blog. You can see sample pages here . So, post a comment here by midnight EST on July 4 for a chance to win. :)

A fellow homeschooler brought this website to my attention, and for that, I am grateful!  So, I thought I would share: http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/features/lordoftheringstrilogy/index.jsp

Click on the following link for the list of resources I plan to use for our study of God's Design Science: Our Weather and Water. pdf document here . My boys are 4th and 5th grade. Most of the books are also suitable for a younger audience. Ben really likes picture books still, and we always enjoy looking at the different art techniques even in science books -- particularly collage and clay art. I will often read a few books covering the same topic for the sake of review and also because we are all so interested in illustration styles. I will be posting my resources for the other two books in this series as I complete them.

Here is the resource list for the four Baroque composers we will study this upcoming year. Download the pdf file here . We will study Handel, Vivaldi, and Bach.  We will also listen to music by Monteverdi, Purcell, and Pachelbel (earlier Baroque composers).

I have compiled a list of resources available to use for our upcoming artist study.  Since we will be covering the Baroque period (1600-1750), I chose four primary artists to study along with a general study of the period.  Ignore the notes I have on the right margins; these indicate whether I own the resource or if I need to borrow it from the library.
