Our weekly library trip was a short one. I ran in got my books and ran back out in under 5 minutes, while Gino and Isabel waited for me. We had errands to run and didn’t have time to dwell among the shelves this week.

I got some good ones (least I’m hoping they are) with books from around the time frame that we are in; late 1700’s and early 1800’s.

This book’s illustrations are just beautiful!
I began reading it last night and have enjoyed it.

I checked out 2 books about the Star-Spangled Banner and I like the other one better (which I didn’t get a picture of).
I completed reading both of these last night.

I am hoping to read this with Isabel but I will begin reading it myself first.

I haven’t begun to read this one but it looks very interesting and the activities seem easy enough to do with items we already have.

It’s a good day to get some work done.

In the classroom:

In Language arts, Isabel’s assignment was to write a “limerick”. A limerick is a 5-lined rhyming poem with a pattern. Such as a-a-b-b-a. The first, second, and fifth lines rhyme and the third and four lines rhyme.
