Rest of our year

Here is (roughly) what the rest of our year should look like. Due to pregnancy and moving house I doubt we’ll do everything on the exact dates but so that I have an idea where we’re headed I’ve organized our history, science, music and art appreciation.

It would be great if we did finish by then, but we will see what God’s wish is. When we finish we’ll do a brief study of modern times and then begin the new year in September. Our artists and musicians don’t line up with our time period because I want to cover some modern ones, we may still be reading about them when we begin the ancient times which is fine with me because I have difficulty getting books on ancient art.
