    Just thought I’d say… I’ve figured out our Artists for the coming year….

    I figured I’d check the website for the local art gallery… and there is a temporary display coming in the spring of 2012… Norman Rockwell!  Boy am I thrilled!  Guess who one of the artists is going to be?  lol.

    So – For World Artists…

    Giotto  (I’m eyeing the new portfolio… lol)

    da Vinci

    Norman Rockwell

    For Canadian Artists..

    Emily Carr

    Paul Peel

    Inuit Art (not a specific artist… but style of carvings etc.  again, the Art Gallery has a permanent display.)

    Just wondering why you are not combining your kids for year 1 and year 3? Or do you mean grades 1 &3? Seems like it would make your life easier to combine them….

    🙂 Just my opinion.

    Year 1 and Year 3 is Grade 1 and Grade 3…  

    I’ve combined them for almost every subject…    

    They are seperate for:

    Math (he is in math 2a, she is in math 1b),

    Handwriting/Copywork (he can write, although it needs improvement…, she can’t clearly write any letters… although she does “print” when she wants (often backwards… sigh)  

    Reading Practice

    1 book.  (my son has already had read to him the first 2 books in Little House…. I tend to read him the 3rd, and my daughter the 1st…)

    All the rest of that was together.
