So far we have studied this painting and a poem by Robert Frost. The book is nicely put together and the pictures are beautiful. We will probably cut them out when Beauty is done with the book. This course is probably great for those kids who look like the girl in the picture. Calm, introspective, with manners. Not like the knuckledragging neanderthal that Beauty is on occasion. She actually does do well with this book. It takes a minute for her to get into art appreciation mode. Once I start asking lots of questions she can come up with very good answers. She decided for this painting the little girl was in trouble for taking her mother's necklace.
Today we'll be working on understanding a poem. This is a little more difficult for her to comprehend. We'll also work on poem structure.
We're going on another outing today once Beauty finishes her school work. She was invited for lunch and playing at the Jumpy Place with some other homeschool/personal friends.
Mr. Father desperately wants to do the rocket project but the weather is not cooperating. We need clear sunny skies and low wind. Maybe tomorrow.
