We learned that India has existed since ancient times. We talked about the India caste system and how it separated the people as they did not associate with one another. India was known for it's fine spices, just as China was known for its silk.
We learned about the Silk Road and the secret to China's fine silk.
The kids wrote the steps and were able to put them in the correct order. I had them add little pictures onto the cards.
We watched a quick YouTube video to show the process. The kids were quite amused by this. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ktNSPFbwQ
Our narration this week was about the brave Horatius. The kids enjoyed this story so narration came easy. Love that cursive!
In Science this week the kids experimented with dinosaur body design. We learned that God designed each dinosaur carefully and perfectly to give it balance for walking and eating.
The kids loved using marshmallows and toothpicks to create the perfect balances.
They ate them after they were finished!
Resurrection to Reformation
This week, he learned about the end of the Middle Ages.
He did make a pennant flag but, I somehow didn't capture a picture and learned that they were carried showing emblems or crests during the Middle Ages.
His drawing through history is going much better. This week he drew a knight in armor.

We also had a visit to Krispy Kreme at the end of our week. They happily gave the kids a personal tour around the store, let them play with the dough, and answered all their questions. Hats off to Krispy Kreme for humoring and educating my homeschoolers! :)
Hope you had a great week!
