    We did Castle Diary this year, as well as many of those Eyewitness books. They are great, because they have so many pictures.

    We did not get our hands on any children's versions of Canterbury Tales, though. :( But I figure we'll revisit medieval times in 5th grade and address it then.

    You are so organized and ready to tackle the new school year! I want to get on it this weekend.
