9/3 science and history

Sorry, I keep going online to do this, but get sidetracked.

I have pictures of history on my phone, if I can get them off to an email I will.

History - we continued talking about the nomads who settled in the Fertle Crescent and became farmers. We compared how they were used to getting their food to the new ways that allowed them to build houses and stay in the same spot. We talked about ways that they got water to their crops and the first farm machine that was developed to help. We made "bricks" and this week they can go outside and build with them.

Science - we started talking about the three forms of matter. Quinn and Nadia remembered some of this from last year. They seemed to be able to know the difference between all three. The biggest concept to get is that air is matter and that the air in a balloon has more mass than a balloon with no air.
