I read the beginning of the About Me book in Childcraft with her, and discussed origin myths and the similarities that run in many of them - I told her after we read four or five of them she'll see what I mean about that.

I'm getting several things ready for next week - as I am on vacation all week.  We should take the English language arts exam for second grade, work on Latin words as they relate to words she uses everyday...tie that in with Latin as the language of the Romans, and continue with more origin myths if she will read them with me. It is a good introduction to many different cultures, too.  She learned what the word Norse meant.  They said that Wednesday was named after a Norse god - Woden.  Hey, that is the god in the How to Train your Dragon books!  Yes, it is.
