Since we are studying Egypt, we are learning a ton of stuff about Ancient Egpyt Papyrus boats. One of our projects was to make a reed boat out of the grass in our yard..so here is our closest imitation of a reed boat...unfortunately Kodi got a hold of them and destroyed them...so is the story of our life.
Caleb and Toby built a Pyramid out of legos...since Egypt has pyramids where they buried their Pharoahs.
This is a diarama of the Nile River. The longest river in the world with flows North and is desert all around it. It provided life and still does for the people in Egypt. We made a clay river with sand and dirt on the sides. Every year the enundation came (flooding of the Nile) and brought all the silt and dirt to form a rich Delta. I think I am learning more than the boys. Fascinating stuff.
Our Nile River desert. Ice Cream covered with Choc cookies and Vanilla cookie crumbs (dirt and sand). The River is made from Blue Jello. We did realize that you shouldn't freeze this. Eat it as soon as it is made. Frozen Jello is not that good.
A Painting activity. Homeschooling has been fun, but it is not been bliss. We are very busy and have learned to like being around each other...most of the time. We are so blessed to have wonderful neighbors with awesome kids and lots of homeschool oppurtunities for the kids. There are so many things to do it can be overwelming. I am not sure how long I will be homeschooling, but hopefully the kids will have fond memories from the time we have spent together.
We made a trip to Patterson Farms with several other families who homeschool as well for the Fall.
