FIELD TRIP

On Monday our puppy Zeus crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We thank God that we had 11 years of joy, happiness, and love with him. Nothing will ever replace him in our hearts, and our lives will forever be change. Until we meet again buddy, we will always love you and miss you dearly.

Went to the park to not only enjoy the warm weather but to get our minds off of losing Zeus.

CONCLUSION

Started off a very rough week but with God's help we were able to finish the lesson strong. We had to put our beloved pup Zeus (11 years old) down. He had been dealing with a herniated disc since November of 2020 and on Sunday his disc ruptured and he became paralyzed. As much as it hurt us to let him go we had to do what was best for him. Struggled at first to concentrate in school but we pulled through.

This week we learned about Copernicus; Galileo, Queen Elizabeth, the spread of Reformation, the council of Trent, England's Catholic Protestant, and Neptune. Also learned about drawing cherubs, practice penmanship, Raphael, the lost son, the blind man, Zacchaeus, the last supper, and how plant use light to grow. Now unto next week to see what adventures are in store for us.

GOD BLESS!
