Belated Weekly Update

Another week gone by. Just History again. The boys have been doing so well and I really think they're learning alot! We're studying Ancients this year, which I enjoy learning about as well. We talked about the first writings, cuneiform, hieroglyphs, mummies and pyramids. Here's some pics of our projects. We did cave paintings and cuneiform tablets. The tablets have their initials in cuneiform on it.

Here's Pokemon King's:

Here's Dinodude's:

And here's Rocket's:


Rocket didn't do a cuneiform tablet, but he loves to paint, so we let him do the cave painting. I haven't really officially started with his schooling yet. I'm going to wait until the 2nd term to start him off. By then, I'll have the baby too, so that'll be pretty interesting!

Wow! Great job boys! The cuneiform tablets came out much better than the ones we did last year. What kind of clay did you use? Love their cave paintings, too!

Those are awesome cave paintings!! We did those last year, but there is really not a lot of artistic talent at this house, that I can find anyway.
