• Begin studying the Westminster Shorter Catechisms with the kids.

• MOH 2 Week 19: William the Conqueror and the Battle of Hastings.  The kids used their army men to reenact this battle.

   Pope Gregory VII, Henry IV and the Investiture Controversy.  I have to admit this was a difficult and somewhat confusing lesson, particularly for The Giver.  We had some discussion about the misuse of power in politics and the religion.
The Early Crusades:  Another lesson that was a little in depth for the youngers.

We wrapped up our MOH2 week by playing MOH Pictionary.  The kids really enjoyed this!
