Read Aloud Thursday~April 21~Fun Reads, and Science

This week we have been focusing more on review items. Why, because I am a part of the 2010-2011 TOS Review Crew…of course if you read my blog, you already know that. Winking smile Anyway, we are not immune to the end of the school year rush, and we have lots of reviews coming up…in fact if you count the one from yesterday, I have twelve to go…YIKES…that is a lot, but we love having a variety of things to choose from and this gives a whole range of things we never would have picked up, so I am not complaining, just stating why we have a few new things for the read aloud thing this week…Winking smile

First off we have:

Andi’s Pony Trouble-

by Susan K. Marlow

Published by Kregel Publications

We are really liking this book. I have a few horse crazy girls in my home..wonder where they got that from. It has sprinkling of character and manners through out.

 

Next we have:

Boys and Girls of Colonial Days

by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey

A part of the Yesterday’s Classics collection

This is fitting right in with our current history studies. My children are really enjoying it.

 

The last read aloud I am doing with my children:

As a family we are reading the readings from considering God’s Creation from Eagle’s Wings aloud. So far I am really enjoying this, and find that it is easy to implement with varied ages.

Please note, this is not a complete review of any of these books. However, this is our reading for this week. Look for complete reviews of these book next month.

My husband is continuing reading from the Little House on the Prairie series at night. They are currently reading Farmer Boy.

    Oh, I was on the TOS Crew last year (or was it two years ago?) and I think I got one of the Andi books (for older readers) through TOS and really enjoyed it. I bet my girls would enjoy this one for younger readers!

    Thanks for linking up to RAT!
