Week 28 of Homeschool: We learned about Ireland and the history of Saint Patrick, studied the Mongol empire, practiced telling time and odd numbers, learned more about viruses than we ever wanted to know, finished reading Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island and talked like pirates, colored the Irish flag and celtic knots, made a “hot air balloon” and flew it to learn about thermal heat energy, made a list of cool fake words, practiced diagramming sentences, made nifty placemats with Duct tape, constructed tall towers using craft sticks and tape, learned to paint using the watercolor technique of wet-on-wet, came up with mathematical laws that actually work, worked on spelling and reading, and saw some wild turkey at our cousins on our one outing of the week!
