Ancient Times


The study of Egypt
Cuneiform
Sumerian Picture-writing


Ella preparing to carve on wet clay just as the sumerians did.
Hailey very proud of her work :)
Ella's message "You Rock"
Hailey's message " I love you"
Amber did her own thing....
A turtle 

We are studing history through The Story of the World
Ancient Times.  I can not tell you how much fun we are having and how much we are all learning.
Amber who is 5 yrs. old can tell me about Upper and Lower Egypt or  Hammurabi's Code.  Any one of the girls can tell you the difference between a historian and an archeologist or how to make a mummy.  When you hear, "This is the best year of school ever!" from your children you know you are moving in the right direction.

  1. We are doing SOTW too and are loving it! Funny to hear the kids narrate stuff but we are still working on that. They seem to think it is a "news" show... Sigh...
