In Bible David became the king of Judah and had a civil war with the son of Saul. We read five poems from the Caribbean Islands and Mexico. In science we learned about global warming and rain forests.

In The Children’s Bible Field Guide we learned about Paul’s letters. In History we learned about the Portuguese Empire. We read eight African, Chinese and Japanese poems. In science we learned about earthquakes.

In History we learned about the Mayans. They were a city-state society. We read six poems, a lot from Germany. The thickness of lava determines who much gas it can trap. Thick lava can trap more so the pressure builds up. It also moves slower down the volcano and makes the sides steep. Runny lava lets gas escape almost right away and volcanoes with runny lava frequently erupt in small amounts. It also runs down the volcano fast so the slopes are shallow.

In Bible David snuck into Saul’s camp and did not kill him with his own spear while he was sleeping. The second time he spared him. In The Children’s Bible Field Guide we learned about the arresting and beheading of Paul. In history we had an overview of European explorers. We read six poems, two French, two lullabies. In science we learned about rocks and minerals and energy we get from the earth but just fossil fuels and nuclear energy.
