October read alouds

I really was planning on posting our books each month and here I am way behind! In October we had several weeks of fighting a nasty cold with a lingering cough so we did very little reading. We read a

biography on Martin Luther and started

Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates.

We had learned some things about the Netherlands for History so I thought Hans would be a good read. And it is a neat story and really teaches a lot about the culture and life of Holland, but it is SLOW going! I was thrilled to find that the library has it on cd.
