CC Cycle 2 Week 6

Out of the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance.......

We had a wonderful time reading about the Medieval Period and making some wonderful crafts, too.

I am looking forward to spending some time in the Renaissance Period as we introduced the material for week 6 on Friday.

So to kick off this week, here are some of the links and books I have for week 6:

Neo Leo by: Gene Barretta

Clown of God by: Tommie dePaola

*Library Tip: I usually fill our book basket with books that support the subject 'new grammar' for the week.  I looked up these terms: Mona Lisa, Bard, Da Vinci, Renaissance, Copernicus, Shakespeare, pollution.
