Our goals this week were to cover the Byzantine Empire, focusing on Justinian, St. Patrick and the monasteries. We also learned about the Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox churches.

Movie: This week we added this movie to our studies. It gave a good picture of the Irish monastaries and the legends around St. Patrick. And Danny concluded the movie (that was all about God) by saying, "And that, kids, is why we get drunk every St. Patrick's Day. They were surprised to learn that people celebrate the holiday of St. Patrick in a drunken stupor. :-)
Dictation: This week we are using portions of The Code of Justinian.
Writing: We are writing a descriptive essay about life in a monastary.
(We haven't added the copywork to it yet.)
Evaluation: I was a little frustrated with the upper grammar evaluation this week because we did all the reading, but I didn't find the information that was asked on the Evaluation for Upper Grammar. So, we just did it together orally.
