- MOH II, week 22 completed - St Francis, St. Clara, St. Dominic; Children's Crusade; King John and the Magna Carta. We made some fingerprint characters on the day we learned about the Children's Crusade which The Giver and Preacher Man enjoyed.
- Botany - we finished up Lesson 10 and had co-op on Friday. We performed the experiment in the book using pinecones. You predict what will happen if you put one in cold water and one in the oven. All 3 kids guessed incorrectly! They weren't thinking through what the factors were and then were surprised with the outcome after an hour!

I think I'll add Jack's Insects to my ds11's reading list.
Looks like a good and thorough week! I love the idea of fort homeschooling!
Sounds like a good week.
I think I might try the pine cone experiment with my kids and see how they go with guessing what will happen.
