Sheep
Today after our Bible story and biography readings, we finished up our Russia unit. We're mixing things up a bit this time around . . . we actually started studying Great Britain before we finished studying Russia, so were doing some of both at the same time.
We are studying Great Britain this week, and one of the recommended animals to study is sheep. So today we studied sheep. We read library books about sheep, colored pictures of sheep, and I read William Blake's poem "The Lamb" aloud (doubly appropriate, since Blake is a well-known British author, of course). Psalm 23 and the parable of the lost sheep fit in great with today's lesson, too.
The kids ran around on their hands and knees for the next hour or so, baa-ing.

"The Lamb" is one of my favorite poems. There is a musical setting of it by the British composer John Tavener that the King's Singers have on their "Christmas" album. (available at the iTunes store) It is breathtaking. You make homeschooling sound like such fun!!
You sound like a great home-schooling mom:) I love reading what you are sharing with your kids.
