Field trip

We made Oreo's houses, which we bought back in December to do with the grandparent but unfortunately they didn't want to. Had a lot of fun making them and just seeing the smiles on their faces and hearing them laugh is all worth it. Mine didn't stand a chance since I kept giving the kids all the parts of my house to them for theirs.

Conclusion

This week we learned about Catherine the Great, the reign of terror, tyrants, the French Revolution, Frederick's last review, Russians, Prussians, South Carolina, New Hampshire, and Virginia. We also learned about Jesus being the head of the body, Maine, Missouri, Arkansas, Michigan, the human body, transpiration, anatomy of a leaf, Swan Lake, the best of Tchaikovsky, and more on William Carey. It's been a busy week and have enjoyed learning. Now unto next week to see what adventures are in store for us.

GOD BLESS!
