4^th Grade History and Geography

Coursework

Week Fourteen

This week we will be continuing our study of the Middle Ages. On Tuesday we will be reading about the crusades. We will also be drilling our continent of Europe and practicing our timeline chant. We are looking forward to hearing a report from Elizabeth P. about her trip to Normandy and seeing pictures of the actual Bayeux Tapestry! Thursday’s class period will be a painting day so please send your student to school in older cloths. A painting smock or old t-shirt would be ideal.
