Week 7 of Homeschool: We “adopted” trees in our neighborhood to check on and take care of, studied the excretory system, learned the capitals of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska, grew crystals on paper dinosaurs, learned about Napoleon in Russia, the War of 1812 and the Monroe Doctrine, saw the Lion King Jr. live on stage, practiced our upper and lower-case letters, wrote a story about a time-traveling closet, practiced skip counting 13’s, played Body Bingo and practiced our knowledge of the body, listened to our heart beats with our Auntie/Nurse and her stethoscope, practiced cursive handwriting, and listened to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons (like a million times)!
