Swiss Week

We've been reading Look What Came from Switzerland and another children's book about Swiss culture and geography. Dd has been listening to an abridged audio version of Heidi. I didn't want to do the abridged version, but the complete version is about 8 hours long and I thought she might lose interest. I want her to have a pleasant acquaintance with Heidi, so that in a few years when she reads the book, she will already know it's a great book.

We had raclette for dinner tonight.

We continue to use Letters and Sounds and Math U See. We began reading A Beka's Fun with Pets, and I'm going to stick with A Beka reading books for the rest of the year. I love the way some phonics drill is included in the reader. I'm really considering buying an ABeka math book. For handwriting, dd has been copying her Bible verses from church.
