2020-2021 Rome to Reformation Week 14-15

 These two weeks we have been busy. And I really forgot I did not blog! =)

These are the things we did.

Bible

We memorized 1 Cor 1-3, 4-5

We were learning about Islam and the girls had some questions. We were so blessed that one of our friends did his dissertation in Islam studies and he was a missionary in India to the Muslims for many years. He zoomed us one day and answered our questions. It was an interesting experience.

History

We learnt about the Islamic invasion and the barbaric invasion.

We learnt about Clovis and the Franks, and the Carolingian dynasty.

We also learnt about Charlemagne, the celtic tribes of Britain and how Christianity started to take place in the western Roman world as well.

I added in some teaching from Project Passport: Middle Ages (Stop #3).

For these two weeks I mostly taught from Streams of Civilization and the girls listened to Story of the World.

We finished Twice Freed.

The girls colored the Book of Kells.

Science

We learnt about the circulatory and respiratory systems.

Art

For the weeks when we did not have art projects, I did picture study (with the focus on Renaissance artists) with the girls. These few weeks we focused on Leonardo Da Vinci.

We looked at the Annunciation and St. John the Baptist.
