Um, I can relate to the juggle of doing school when life is busy with a big project. I tend to do what you have said - keep the basics going and leave off with the extra bits for later. The wonderful thing is that as home schoolers we can usually involve our kids in the big projects that are needing our attention. My hubby is reading the Magician's Nephew to our younger ones - one chapter to go! My 7 year old is loving it. This would be the 2nd or third time hubby has read all 7 books to our children!! As for Shakespeare, I'm with Jeanne - the comedies are great fun. We loved Much Ado About Nothing, especially as we have the dvd with Emma Thompson. We finished reading all the stories in Lamb's Tales last week, and have moved on to reading Much Ado out loud as a play. My older 4 are loving it! xxMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103643232928794226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349818069035818266.post-15359615221331809292012-03-16T07:38:05.389+11:002012-03-16T07:38:05.389+11:00Thanks Jeanne, I appreciate your feedback!

Yay.<br /><br />Much Ado is really fun. You will like it, I think. Can you get hold of a video of it to watch?Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573473465011631325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349818069035818266.post-80060823371977119752012-03-10T16:11:49.752+11:002012-03-10T16:11:49.752+11:00I can't unfortunately recommend what books, I ...I can't unfortunately recommend what books, I come here to see what is in store for us, ha ha ha, but I wanted to say that it is hard to hear about your B&B... sigh... anyway, I wish you the best and no worries about not reading aloud much... life takes priority, there are waves and seasons, they'll be sustained with what they get to by themselves. But I can relate to your feeling, after 7 weeks of vacation I came with such a mea culpa feeling for not having touched a book!Silviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249978624747684879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349818069035818266.post-46030878356709074242012-03-10T08:11:10.427+11:002012-03-10T08:11:10.427+11:00Hi Rosemary, thanks, I'm feeling a bit better ...Hi Rosemary, thanks, I'm feeling a bit better today! I've thought about just following AO's schedule, but I really wanted to introduce Shakespeare with a fun one, I am leaning towards 'Much ado about nothing'! We won't be starting until next term.

Hope you're feeling better today. <br />I haven't read the Anne books yet though loved the movies! <br />The magicians nephew was enjoyed thoroughly over here too:) <br />We follow the AO schedule for Shakespeare but don't narrate from it.

I can not wait till my own boys are old enough so we can enjoy them together. I used to read one every year to my students in public school.

The things they are doing will keep them going until the time comes when you can go back to full time. Is there interest in your B&B as yet? It looks such a gorgeous place, I am sure someone will snap it up. Oh, I would so love to be having a big "spring" clean.

One of the comedies, for sure. I have not attempted a read aloud yet. Will be keen to hear how you go!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573473465011631325noreply@blogger.com
