CONCLUSION
This week we discussed Noah, Cain and Abel, Tower of Babel, Abram, Sarai, rainbows, and rain. Also learned about the Muslim Influence, Clovis, Barbarian Kingdom, Islamic Invasion, growth of the Roman Catholic Church, Charles the Hammer, our heart, and our blood flow. Went on a field trip at the end of this week with the family. We really enjoyed exploring the cave, then going to the different museums that were on site. But I think the thing the kids enjoyed the most was the Rope Adventure Park. They are still talking about how much fun it was and how they can't wait to go back. It's always wonderful to hear the kids get excited about trying something new and how much they liked that we pushed them to try it. They were actually nervous at first and kind of didn't want to try, so proud that they tried it and loved it. Now unto next week and see what adventures are in store for us.
GOD BLESS!
