<h3>🎯 This Week's Goals</h3>
<div class="activity-box">
<p style="margin-bottom:2px;">This week you will learn:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:2px;">• What an invention is and why people invent<br>• Amazing medieval inventions like windmills and clocks<br>• How the printing press changed the world<br>• Which medieval inventions you still use today</p>

<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>An <strong>invention</strong> is something new that someone creates to solve a problem. People in the Middle Ages were great inventors!</p>
<p>They built <strong>windmills</strong> that used wind power to grind grain into flour. They made <strong>mechanical clocks</strong> that rang bells so towns knew what time it was. They invented <strong>eyeglasses</strong> to help people see, and the heavy <strong>plow</strong> that helped farmers grow much more food.</p>
<p>Inventions did not come from magic. They came from people noticing a problem and asking, 'How can I fix this?' This week, we will meet the clever inventions of the Middle Ages — and you will even invent something yourself!</p>
