For C. and Aa.
~keep on in Child's History of the World and read last 6 lives in Plutarch for Children: Greek Lives
~ then keep on in Child's History or begin Famous Men of Rome- but honestly I think I need a break from this book. I have read it through twice out loud to my kids and as good as it is I must admit that when I near the end of the book I don't ever want to hear about another famous man of Rome!). Maybe we will just read in the Hillyer book or maybe in the Story of Rome by Macgregor that Ar. loved or perhaps we will read in Hillyer and C. can read the Story of Rome later to himself.
~when we get to Rome I will read Ceaser's Gallic Wars (kids) to all the kids- I have wanted this book for years and finally found a reasonable copy.
~C. is reading Otto of the Silver Hand, but when he is done I might give the Children's Aeniad or In Search of a Homeland. I personally like the first one better but I think he will enjoy the pictures in the second one.
~H. is plugging away in Dicken's History of England and getting more into Ivanhoe
~Ar. is approaching Alexander the Great (he will read the Plutarch life for him I think). After this I will have to rethink the Rome part of his year as the Greek part will take us over half. My thoughts (off the top of my head) are...
~ the Aeniad (he really wants to read this)
~Ceaser's Gallic Wars (kids version with the family)
~Julius Ceaser- Shakepeare (being read now)
~readings from A Short History of the World by Robert's with notetaking
~not sure after that...
