• Phone Number
• Started putting together words that said out loud to him.

• The Hundred Dresses
• My Father's Dragon
• James Harriot's Treasury for Children
• Fairy Tales
• Nursery Rhymes

Biographies:

• We have read many biographies....from the book I Heard the Good News.  This is by far my favorite book.  I love to read about all the missionaries and how they brought the gospel to different places. 

The six weeks have really flown by.  Bruce is loving school and it is amazing to watch him learn.  The next six weeks we are going to start and art study and I am looking for a music study but we may hold off for a little while on that.
