Weeks 4-6 Summary

It's definitely time for our school update. We have covered a large amount of material over the past three weeks, so this will be a brief summary!

Kindergarten studies included leaves, apples, and nests.

We went for nature walks and collected leaves.


We had an apple taste test with Daddy.


We baked apple bread. In this case, our little Kindergartener ate the bread while big sister helped with the kneading.


We made a cute little bird's nest craft.



Our Rome to the Reformation studies are still centered around Rome and will be for several more weeks. The kids and I are learning so much! We've entered into the time of Octavian as Augustus Caesar. The history is fascinating to most of us, but one of us fits in a nap whenever we pull out Augustus Caesar's World:


We have also been studying the human brain and nerves using The Human Body for Every Kid.
This is a highly interesting book and the experiments are simple -- and they actually work out, which is a bonus for me!

We studied Roman arches and bridges in week 6.

How many soldiers can a straight bridge support? Arches make much stronger bridges!



The great pudding box arch! I was skeptical, but this actually worked!
