In the way of study and review, which is very important to learning History, do page 269. Whatever you do not remember, look back and read about it to remind yourself ~ and read it thoughtfully and maybe even talk it through to someone, especially if it's like new to you!
Do the top of page 272: do you remember the family relationships of Duke Wenceslas that so greatly affected his life? Talk through who each person was and who did what to who.
Do page 48B, page 278.
Do "Somewhere in Time", page 279.
Then finally, read Lesson 49.

Before moving into the new assignment, here is a link for the music we sang today of Good KingWenceslas. I like it for the classic sound of the carol. However, I like this version for the video as it shows a little more of the story of the Duke.
Next, go ahead and write the next history card - #45.
The Great Zimbabwe of Africa
c. 900
Great Zimbabwe, in the southeast corner of Africa, means "great stone house." Their special brick buildings set them apart from their neighbors and endured time to preserve a record of their prior lifestyle. They traded precious metals, even gold, produced musical instruments such as brass gongs, made glass beads, and were productive farmers.
Read Lesson 47. In class Tuesday we will enjoy some "German" food dishes, although I can't promise how authentically I can make them, while I read you a Grimm fairy tale or two!
Research a little information about the Black Forest of Germany, putting it in the form of a brochure that you will share as if you are a travel agent in class on Tuesday. We'll see how many of us will want to go after that!

New Zealand and Zimbabwe, Africa!
Click Iceland is Cool! to see pictures; scroll down to see additional landscape picture links! Field Trip anyone?
Now, check out these New Zealanders: (the first of which is extinct) http://messybeast.com/extinct/moa.htm and this one http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/02/0217_060217_kiwi.html which is the national symbol New Zealand!
Complete the reading of Lesson 44, pages 259 - 260.
View the "Southern Cross" which New Zealand stargazers view. Parents, it's a good time to go "tramping!" That's the New Zealand term for hiking about in your natural surroundings: take time to go out during early morning or evening for a tramp about to listen to and spot local birds, observe squirrels playing chase, smell the damp soil wet with dew and blooming flowers: our unseasonably warm weather if very conducive to a "tramp" about our area. Enjoy!
