Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

"Homesick" by Jean Fritz--about her youth in China. Great story. ( Would also be appropriate for anyone studying 20th century as it has lots to do with China's entry into into Communism).

We are finishing up a unit on the Middle East and there were some great read alouds! Our favorite was Ali and the Golden Eagle, by Wayne Grover. We also loved Seven Daughters, Seven Sons - but you need to edit on the fly for that one. Both of these books are in Sonlight's Core 5 (Eastern Hemisphere).
