Cultural Revolution

Ruby is learning about the Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward.  She took a test today on it, and mostly finished Red Scarf Girl.  I'm hoping she will read China's Son, which is a kids' adaptation of one of my favorite books, Colors of the Mountain by Da Chen.  Then we have to move on! 

For Asian arts, we read a couple of books on Bonsai, but haven't trimmed our bonsai tree yet.  Next we;ll go to either Cambodia or ancient China.  There is so much to cover!

Ruby is still doing creative writing, a science page a day, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, math at school and lots of guitar.  She is doing a great job of being self-motivated.
