 This was an odd week. We had three days of school, and we were off to Albany. For a concert. But we DID stopped by the capitol. It's quite impressive I have to say. But Albany, not so much. For History, we learnt about the fight for independence in the South America: Haitian Revolt, Simon Bolivar, and Mexico. We also learnt about James Monroe and John Quincy Adams. AND we learnt about NY, NC, and RI. Which made the capital visit quite meaningful actually. We also started reading "Mary Jones and her Bible"

 This week we learnt about the Industrial Revolution and the inventors. This was a fun research for Homeschool in the Woods. We also listened to the chapters in Story of the World and the girls did easy quizzes. We did the trail map for Lewis and Clark.
