4. U.S. History:
5. World Geography: No Country begins in Ireland and spans to several other continents with ties back to the beginning!
6. Psychology: Finding Jake-- I didn't originally plan for this to be the book to cover this spot. However, there's all sorts of human behavior put on display here. There's the human behavior of a stay-at-home dad struggling because he's not a "mom", it shows the human behavior of a child taking a lesson taught at an early age and letting it shape him into something unexpected, and there's the behavior of parents who deal with a terrible tragedy. It makes a person think…and I loved it.
7. Biology: The Cormorant-- I'd never heard or looked at a picture of a cormorant before! Thanks to this book, I got both bird on the book and in the title.
8. Language Arts: The Name of the Wind is a fantastic book and I couldn't put it down! I'd heard great things about it and was excited to check it out. By the time I finished, I was sold, and if I could have continued reading and reading and reading books much like this one -- I'd love to have a job doing so!
9. Technology: Crocodile on the Sandbank might be stretching the concept here a bit, but as I started it on June 30, it's the only one that works. It's a fictitious mystery about Egyptian mummies and therefore is based on culture which is no longer the common era.
10. Extra Curricular:
End result at the end of June: 8/10 --- Pretty close!
