This week we learned about the struggle between secular kings and emperors. We also learned about the Crusades. We also learned about Gothic Cathedrals. We took a tour of our local St. John's Cathedral. What a beautiful place!!

Dictation: For dictation we did All Creatures of our God and King by St. Francis of Assisi

All creatures of our God and King,

Lift us your voice and with us sing,

Alleluia!

Thou burning sun with golden beam,

Thou silver moon with softer gleam,

O praise him, alleluia!

Let all things their Creator bless,

And worship him in humbleness,

O praise him, alleluia!

Praise, parise the Father, praise the Son,

And praise the Spirit, three in one,

O praise him, alleluia

Geography: The maps this week were the Crusades and the territory of the Empire of the Seljuk Terks.

Timeline Figures:

Projects:

Silly kids were doing Gregorian chants down the aisle. The nice thing is that the church was not really open to the public today, but they let us go in and have the place to ourselves. This was great for me because I can not stand in a cathedral and NOT sing!! :-)
