This week, the kids and I have been working diligently on our current project.
Today, we traveled back in time to Ancient Egypt. We belong to a co-op class that meets once a month. Before we meet, we all read specified chapters in The Story of the World. The parents use the book as a springboard to teach about the era we are reading. We started the year with Ancient Egypt. Each parent is responsible for a segment to teach the kids. There are 15 kids in the class. They had a great time! They did an art project, a science experiment and presentations. They even got to sample food: figs, dates and humus.
Here they are working on their costumes. Charles was a high priest and Savanna was Queen Hatshepsut.
Here are their finished products:
Next month continues our study on Ancient Egypt, but in the New Kingdom.
Oh, by the way, the chickens are due to hatch next week! We're getting excited!
