MONDAY
Opening time, poetry
Old Testament reading
Arithmetic: Key to Percents. "Secret message" involving percentage statements. This page may appear to be just for fun, but the concept is very important.
Picture study: Matthijs Maris. As kind of a windup to this study, we watched the slideshow of 26 of his paintings, and I asked Dollygirl to guess whether they were from his early, middle or later painting career. I think she got most of them right. Hint: in most of his later ones, you can hardly see what they are, they're so misty and grayed-out.
