Welcome to the 4th quarter of your academic year 2012-2013!
Read lesson 67 about John Comenius, the Father of Modern Education. Click on this link to view his portrait painted by Rembrandt. When do you think the paths of these two men crossed for the completion of this portrait? (Look back into Lesson 65 on Rembrandt as well to realize when this could have occurred.)
Write your history card for this lesson.
What are eight things that you believe make a solid education? Write down eight things. Ask a parent to also write down eight things which they believe make a solid education, but work on your lists separately without discussion. After you both have finished your lists, compare them and talk about them. (You do not need to bring these to me; this activity is for your benefit, but you will be asked if you completed the assignment.)

Pilgrims Land at New Plymouth!
Read lesson 59 and write a summary card for the lesson.
Read the Mayflower Compact and peruse the available pages at that website. If your parents would like you to do so, you can copy the words on a piece of paper and then dip the paper in coffee or tea, allow it to dry, then straighten it and tear the edges of the paper to give it an aged appearance. You may file your copy in your notebook under North America: United States.
