Then for the World Geography box he read about a man named William Dampier that explored some of that exact area and Shark Bay was talked about and described. My ds could easily picture it as he read because he had just seen it. Then in the living library (which I read aloud to him) we are reading about Florence Young a missionary to Australia and the Solomon islands and it describes a voyage and storm and talks about Lord Howe Island, and again very easy to picture since we had just watched the video. The attention to detail that Carrie puts in to these guides is something you just don't find in other curriculum and I know it is very time consuming to do that. Thanks again Carrie for all your hard work in making these subjects come to life.As a side note for those doing the WG guide and are close to where we are I just saw that a cyclone is poised to hit Queensland. I plan on talking about this with my ds so we can spend time praying for the people that live there. Again because of the living book aspect of HOD he has more of a connection to the people than he would if he were just reading a textbook.
), HOD has been a huge spiritual blessing and encouragement to us. It's so neat how God uses things outside of HOD to reinforce what is being taught in the guide. I think I am benefiting from it as much as my daughter. 
The left side has been layered so beautifully these first 2 weeks. I'm excited to see how the rest of the year will progress.
