MFW:  RtR (5th Grade) and AHL (9th Grade) Week 1

After two months off of school we are back to our routine.  This is the first year since we have started homeschooling that we took such a long break, it was refreshing.  Had family in town visiting, which is why we had such a long break, its always fun when family is around. This week we will be doing some review in Spanish, start learning Latin, read about the founding of Rome, the Roman Republic, Punic Wars, and the Fall of the Roman Republic.  Also read about the existence of God, creation, sin, cells, organs, inside your body, building blocks, and cell membranes.
