We started back to schooling yesterday and here are our new reads:<br /><br />Freshman daughter- We are going to attempt to tackle "Romeo and Juliet" for literature. Here's hoping that I can remember how to interpret Shakespeare from my own high school days. It's been awhile! :) She is also reading "Daring to Hope" the sequel to "Kisses from Katie".<br /><br />5th Grade son - He is reading "A Wrinkle in Time". We just started into it today. It seems to be a bit higher level than usual for him, so I'm hoping he does OK with it.<br /><br />Read aloud with older two kiddos - "The Hobbit". This is a first time for all of us with this book. It was a book I saw recommended for her level, but since she's not big into reading fantasy-type literature on her own, I thought it might be better as a read-aloud. My son loves listening to fantasy books, so I thought he would enjoy it too. We are one chapter in so far. :)<br /><br />Preschooler - He really loves hearing stories from his new 5 Minute Star Wars stories book that he got for Christmas. We are getting ready to make a trip to the library to get books to go with this month's themes - snow, snowmen, winter, etc.<br /><br />Amidst all my other reading last month, I am still trying to finish Steven Curtis Chapman's book. I am very close though! I haven't picked my next personal read yet, but I have many unread books on my shelf from which to choose! :) LOL!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176455320261606187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-77599130480344001942018-01-02T13:52:34.283-08:002018-01-02T13:52:34.283-08:00I've seen Caroline floating around.

I can't tell you the number of times I've read it out loud to my littles.

I'll have to look into that. It sounds interesting. I loooooooved The Life-Giving Table and have used several of the recipes in it already.

I just bought the Scarlet Archer from Kindle to read aloud as a family (written by a friend's granddaughter with the cover art done by her daughter), and I have the Life-Giving Table by Sally Clarkson waiting for me on Audible.StephFhttp://lifewiththesekids.comnoreply@blogger.com
