As I look at the book list it seems that we have an lot of reading going on. (Of course, to me there can never be too much reading.) And while we do try to fit in outdoor time to get a full sense of the season, Aidan's copywork poem for this week certainly expresses our sentiment for how we treasure books in the winter.
Picture Books In Winter
by Robert Louis Stevenson Summer fading, winter comes— Frosty mornings, tingling thumbs Window robins, winter rooks, And the picture story-books. Water now is turned to stone Nurse and I can walk upon; Still we find the flowing brooks In the picture story-books. All the pretty things put by, Wait upon the children's eye, Sheep and shepherds, trees and crooks, In the picture story-books. We may see how all things are, Seas and cities, near and far, And the flying fairies' looks, In the pictyure story-books. How am I to sing your praise, Happy chimney-corner days, Sitting safe in nursery nooks, Reading picture story-books? |
