This is a good year to introduce two basic forms of letters: the friendly letter, and the business letter. In the third year the student is engaged in activities with house building and gardening. Sometimes supplies need to be ordered such as packages of seeds, twine or a gardening tools. Although it is probably more convenient simply to go to the store or order supplies by phone, for the sake of learning and practice, have the student make an order for supplies by writing the business letter.

This is a fascinating project for the student, and it can also be related to the presentation of life in Egypt during the time of Moses. This can be made as simple as a stick placed in the ground surrounded by marker rocks, or it can be constructed from a dial of wood with gnomon (the upright pointer) made from metal or wood.

Rice loves the water. We would not expect to find it growing in hot and dry areas like millet. Rather, rice is found in places where there is a lot of rain and warmth. In some places where rice is grown, the rains come at a certain time of the year and pour day and night without stopping sometimes for several weeks.

Today we will study a type of dwelling made from soil known as an adobe house. Since the house is built from bricks created from the surrounding soil, it is quite inexpensive to construct. The materials are readily available, and though the adobe brick is not a great insulator, it does maintain a cool temperature in the hot summer sun.
