Traveling into the . . . .

world of Narnia began today.    We have read through the first two chapters and have been introduced to the Pevensie children, gotten a hint of Edmund's temperament, and been transported to Narnia. 

I was pleasantly surprised that both boys remembered how the lamp post found it's way into Narnia. 

Although Mr. Tumnus was working for the White Witch and had orders to turn in any Son of Adam or Daughter of Eve, his and Lucy's first meeting is one of my favorites.   Having tea, by fireside, seems so cozy when it's been winter for a long time (and no Christmas)! 

Summer School Days

Begin tomorrow!  Think it is safe to say that I am looking forward to getting back to school more than the boys are.  We've decided to work through the remaining Narnia books.  Last summer, we traveled to London and into Narnia while reading "The Magician's Nephew".  Now, about a year later, we pick up with "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" (LWW) and will finish the series sometime during the fall.

Fun things to do for LWW: tea party, make Turkish Delight, hope to find instant snow at a teacher store, learn about WWII.

See you on the other side of the wardrobe!
