I am, however, reading it out loud as my daughter is not a big reader. I guess as I hand many of these to my son next year he will be moving at so much more of a quick pace.<br /><br />Have a great summer,<br />KristieThe Beynonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13001494603417715259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325300884414646798.post-91600486975024476922009-06-18T10:17:48.228-07:002009-06-18T10:17:48.228-07:00Hi Kristie,

But, you are correct that we'll probably miss a lot reading through it. I think these masterpieces could take a life time and more to plumb the depths of! Also, Heroes of the City of Man is a very excellent analysis of many of these works so that will definitely help in absorbing the material. And Sophia's World will also lend understanding in that it teaches the Ancient mindset.<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />FaithFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169821331076296753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325300884414646798.post-66346294767286059062009-06-15T16:26:12.005-07:002009-06-15T16:26:12.005-07:00Whoops...that last email was me even though it say...Whoops...that last email was me even though it says Gwen (my daughters email was logged in!!)...<br /><br />KristieThe Beynonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13001494603417715259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325300884414646798.post-25199640754262457082009-06-15T16:24:12.310-07:002009-06-15T16:24:12.310-07:00HI Faith,

Just something I have been chewing on as I plan our studies for next year....I have been figuring that at this age there will be more of an exposure, that the hard looking at alot of these works will come later...<br /><br />Just the thoughts brewing in my head as I plan...<br /><br />KristieThe Beynonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13001494603417715259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325300884414646798.post-57300503640950656432009-06-07T08:52:40.104-07:002009-06-07T08:52:40.104-07:00This looks great Faith, I'm saving this for hi...This looks great Faith, I'm saving this for highschool!!
