MONDAY, APRIL 2

HISTORY - introduced ancient India. they built citadel cities along the Indus River at the time that the people were populating the fertile crescent and ancient Egypt. these were complex societies with a written language, plumbing and advanced farming and culture, but they mysteriously disappeared. the boys were disappointed that there weren't any wars to discuss today :) the assessment is in their folders - i forgot to give it to them, so you can give it to them later.

SCIENCE - learned about the rainforest. we had a long discussion about protecting the rainforest by educating the people who are chopping it down. holden will be the educator and isaac and david will begin planting a new rainforest to make up for the lost one.

it was a good day, they asked good questions and only had a little craziness :)

FOR WED. - they will recite a poem from memory.
