Happy Monday and welcome to week 19! This week our Primary and Intermediate students travel to the Ottoman Empire to learn about Suleiman the Magnificent. While our LMS and UMS remain in Western Europe continuing the study of the Reformation with key figures like Henry VIII and reformers John Calvin and John Knox. So today’s Monday Mix-ins will truly be a mix. There’s even a fun science video about the rotation of the earth!
Be sure to check out last week’s Monday Mix-ins all about Henry VIII.
