CONCLUSION 

This week we discussed our family tree, ancestors, Navajo, Harriet Tubman, Israel, Egypt, David Livingstone, and Hudson Taylor.  Read about wandering through Africa, Italy's Resurrection, Italy Unites, more on the United States of America, the Taiping Rebellion, industry, and farming.  Also learned about the temperate forests, up in the canopy, tree identification, forest floor, and chaparral, the animals of the sky and sea.  Review solid matter, liquid matter, solid liquids, surface tension, gas matters, and voluminous expanding gas.  It has been a bit of a slow week for us after returning from Kentucky.  We were a bit tired and just wanted to take it easy, hence why I didn't take as many pictures as I usually do.  But we did learn a lot and the kids completed all of their work this week.  Now unto next week to see what adventures are in store for us.

GOD BLESS!
