Grains and farming - Getreidearten und Ackerbau. Practicing her printed letters, Mumpel accomplished her booklet that deals with grains and farming. We read a story about a farmer and spoke about what people do who work in agriculture. After that we mainly learned about different grains and soil. What farmers needed is a plow. Bauern brauchten einen Pflug. Rye is a winter grain. Roggen ist ein Wintergetreide. The first bread was made out of wheat. It is a winter and summer grain. Fun stuff and playing.

Naturally Learning: Cathedral of Aachen - Aachener Dom
http://www.naturally-learning.com/2015/07/cathedral-of-aachen-aachener-dom.html
Cathedral of Aachen - Aachener Dom. Letzte Woche Samstag haben wir mit anderen Homeschoolern aus Belgien eine Führung durch den Aachener Dom gemacht. Wir haben im Haus der Dominfo angefangen, wo wir dieses schöne Modell gefunden haben. So sieht der Aachener Dom heute aus. Früher, als Karl der Große ihn bauen liess, gab es nur das Oktogon in der Mitte. Die Meisten anderen Gebäude wurden erst später dazugebaut. This photograph shows a golden bust of Charlemagne and the cathedral with surrounding buildings.
