Our 3rd week of school focused on bread, wheat, and other grain. We threshed wheat (kind of, they got the idea), made bread on Monday, watched some videos about how flour is processed and how bread is made in a big bakery. My favorite activity of the week was sampling different types of flour such as dark rye, spelt, rice, and cornmeal. The girls observed each with their 5 senses, even their hearing, but their favorite was tasting each. It was so fun! I got the flours from the bulk section at Fred Meyer. Then they did a little craft with it, which accidentally got gross and thrown away. Sad.
The KONOS curriculum makes our school time fun and brings in a lot of science and history. I think school would get really boring and monotonous if we just did workpages all day. I also really like that KONOS suggests Bible activities. We learned about The Lord's Prayer as part of school one day last week.
Onto week 4!!
