Narration: Telling What You Read About
Read this article. It talks about narration, which we've done in the past but haven't really worked on this year, and also gives some ideas for a variety of narrations.
For example -- the map you colored was a sort of narration of geography.
I'm not going to start asking for retellings until your football season is over, but in the meantime, as you read your books you might try practicing what you would say if you had to say something.
Note: Some of the reasons for narrating --

Notes

Checkpoint at End of Day:
This means going over your work together after you've checked off everything. This will give you a chance to discuss what you've read or heard (fun, I know!) and it will give me a chance to see if I need to backtrack over anything or change the approach.

Chores:
???? Maybe we'd better make a new list now that Paddy and Aidan are old enough to do work.
Outdoor Time
