This week we have combined week 30 and 31, mainly because we are officially burned out. It's been such a hectic year already and not just because of COVID 19. Between packing, moving, selling the house, looking for a new place to live and then moving across states, we are just ready for a break from it all. The kids have done amazing through all the change, plus we will come back to CtG around 8th grade so we can finish what we didn't in the next cycle. We will learn more about Judah, Daniel and the King's food, Nebuchadnezzar's Dream, the Fiery Furnace, Athens, and Sparta. Also learn more on about Greece, Judah taken captive, land vertebrates, handwriting in the wall, Cyrus King of Persia, and more on insulation and temperature. We will continue working on a lot of reading and preparing for the end of year testing.
