I am keeping the tabletop scarely decorated on purpose. I will rotate books as the days pass. The main book will stay up with pages turned one by one and we will take it down and read from it together.
As I plan our copywork passages for the upcoming week, I am torn: will it all relate to Japan? Or will it be a mix of Japan and Ovid to tie in with our trip to Ackland? I don’t want to confuse, but I trust my children can handle a mix, especially if we are placing items on the timeline and doing plenty of talking about things.
Isn’t this tabletop screen absolutely lovely? My mother found it at the thrift store for Joseph. She knows he is studying Japanese and wants to visit Japan. Joseph is garnering quite the collection of Asian-style apartment or home decor!
Lastly, I love Michele’s milk bucket review idea of using index cards to write questions and answers on throughout the week and then calling them out later for review. I have written down our first question and answer regarding Japan. Michele, I need to come up with something creative — like a milk bucket — to keep our questions in! I’ll be sure and show you!

PS – Just as a reminder, Miss Priss continues to study Grass Sandals: The Travels of Basho and my Joseph is just a lover of all things Japanese.

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
