It sounds very interesting and I'm trying to add more games to our schooling. Thank you for sharing on the Blog Hop. Please, if you find the Bible game online, pop me an email with the link.

It's really very easy. I have one day a week dedicated to nature study, artist study and composer study (along with math and language.) I focus on one artist and composer a month. For the artist, each week we might read a book about the artist, study at least one piece of his/her art in detail and try our hand at replicating their art or doing something of a similar style. For the composer, each week we might read a book about him/her and listen to their music online or on CD. We often listen as we work on our art. It's nothing fancy! Hope this helps! Hi Kristal!

Can I copy your composer schedule?? I'm an art-addict, but I tend to neglect music (which is why I'm just paying for piano this year!)

I'll post on my blog when I finish. I'm using My Father's World for the first time since we've completed our 4 year history cycle with Story of the World. I was ready for something different. MFW begins their cycle with a year of world geography. I'm excited to get started. I’m in the process of planning my year as well. I’ll post on my blog when I finish.

You reminded me of some things I've had in the back of my head. I will pull out Beautiful Girlhood and use it as a read-aloud with my girls. Thanks! I enjoyed reading your plan for the year.

I have chose 1 of each for each semester with 3 semesters for the school year, so 1 composer for 6 weeks and one artist for 6 weeks. Should I schedule more than that?
