Sofia Science 15/16

This year we are using Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding.  We cover one lesson per week.



In addition our year has been full of science museums around  the country (ASTC membership), National Parks, Junior Ranger badges and I'm sure many more scientific explorations that I haven't thought of mentioning.

Luna Reading 15/16

Luna is a voracious reader and I would say averages at least an hour/day.  I have not kept a reading log, but do know that she has most recently read the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan several times through.  She is currently reading Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard by Rick Riordan.

Let me know if you need more specific titles and I have her make a list.

Luna Reading 14/15

Luna is a big reader.  She reads each weeknight before bed for 30 minutes - 1 hour.  When she has a book she is really into she reads it every second she gets.
Since we are traveling and are limited on how much weight we can carry both of our girls received Nooks for Christmas and have unlimited access to our New Jersey library's e-books.  We have also accumulated two more libraries along our journey that have allowed us to use their e-book catalog. We do frequent Barnes and Noble trips to stock up on new book ideas to look for on the
library's e-book collections.
