For now, we'll have to content ourselves with poems about daffodils and stories about fireflies, rabbits, and kittens.

It has also been a big month for rereading. He has reread most of the Horrible Histories and been on a kick of re-reading all the Beast Academy graphic novel textbooks. I only let him read the parts that we have covered as part of his math lessons, so after finishing volume 4A this month, he really wanted to review, I guess.
The Hidden Gallery (The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place #2) by Maryrose Wood
Beast Academy Volumes 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 4A
Horrible Histories by Terry Deary
James Herriot's Treasury for Children by James Herriot
The Mysterious Tadpole by Steven Kellogg
It's Not the Stork by Robie H. Harris, Michael E. Emberley
Anno's Journey by Mitsumasa Anno
Jumanji by Chris van Allsburg
Zathura by Chris van Allsburg
Curious George Goes to the Hospital by H.A. Rey & Margret Rey
Curious George Flies a Kite by H.A. Rey & Margret Rey
I've also been spending my free time finishing up all my planning for our next homeschooling year and planning a free, local homeschooling conference for mid-April.
Fortunately, the one book I finished was a good one.:
Know and Tell: The Art of Narration by Karen Glass
I'm also slowly re-reading Home Education by Charlotte Mason with an in-person reading group and still working on The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky.
These are most of the books we've been reading outside of our formal lessons. You can see the ones we use during school time at 2nd Grade Plans 2017-2018.

Free Reading
The 2nd grader read the next volume in the Incorrigible Children of Ashton place after the boys finished the first volume as a night book. Now he is waiting for the library to buy the next volumes in the series because we asked about them :-)It has also been a big month for rereading. He has reread most of the Horrible Histories and been on a kick of re-reading all the Beast Academy graphic novel textbooks. I only let him read the parts that we have covered as part of his math lessons, so after finishing volume 4A this month, he really wanted to review, I guess.

I've been reading
This month I only finished one book because I've been busy with the Brothers Karamazov. I'm really enjoying it, but it is hefty one so I need to focus to finish it before the library wants it back for good.I've also been spending my free time finishing up all my planning for our next homeschooling year and planning a free, local homeschooling conference for mid-April.
Fortunately, the one book I finished was a good one.:
Know and Tell: The Art of Narration by Karen Glass
I'm also slowly re-reading Home Education by Charlotte Mason with an in-person reading group and still working on The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky.
