7th Grade: L Year 6 2008-2009 daily schedule
L does better taking books a little bit at a time. Where his brothers could do three sections of Augustus Caesar's World in one sitting, L does better if I break that up over three days. So it looks like he's doing more reading, but that's because, although he has more books each day, he has smaller portions of each one.
Books Used:
History:
The Story of the World, Volume 4: The Modern Age by Susan Wise Bauer (second half)
The Story of the Greeks by H. A. Guerber
