85-88

Tuesday: read A Medieval Feast by Aliki and "Beowulf" from Osborne's Favorite Medieval Tales, and a few entries in Platt's Castle Diary. Did math and Spanish.
Wednesday: E had piano and dance lessons, and did math
Thursday: E had math and spelling, and they watched A History of the Middle Ages on DVD. We read a story from Osborne's Favorite Medieval Tales ("The Island of Lost Children") and a little bit of Castle Diary by Richard Platt, as well as playing around with Knights in Armor by Sally Hewitt (for T) and learning more about forces and friction with Energy in Motion by Melissa Stewart and The Magic School Bus Plays Ball by Nancy E. Krulik. (I really don't like the TV adaptations of the MSB series as much as the original books, but you try to find an engaging book about friction for gradeschoolers!)
Friday: we attended a performance by Complexions Dance Company and E has basketball practice tonight and a game tomorrow. She is doing a math lesson and then we will watch Social Structure in the Middle Ages and probably do a Spanish lesson.
