I have no problem piggy backing off of anything we are studying and coming up with lots of extras to do.crispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614782132011418603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513728972273935488.post-45757154391430618542009-08-10T10:50:05.912-04:002009-08-10T10:50:05.912-04:00Are you doing SOTW volume 1?

You probably already have it but if not, I recommend the activity book for SOTW and also Evan Moor's Ancient Civilizations is a great supplement as well. Hope you have a great school year!

We've done it with Keisuzi's crew since book one. We do the reading, coloring work and mapwork at home, then meet once a week for activities. Oh, how I wish I could loan you the stuff I bought at the King Tut exhibit in San Francisco!!! Lots of cool books for the kids, and some heiroglyphic stencils. Even though we're in the "Early Modern Age", we may go back and do an Egyptian lapbook. Please post pictures of the activities you do!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513728972273935488.post-3023603427501223362009-08-10T08:39:53.544-04:002009-08-10T08:39:53.544-04:00Karen, the girls are now in 5th (Tally) and 4th (T...Karen, the girls are now in 5th (Tally) and 4th (Tristen).<br /><br />I figured it was time to take schooling more seriously.

I really didn't need a whole curr. just needed the history. And I figured I can beef it up for Tally pretty easily.crispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614782132011418603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513728972273935488.post-10052832139733656072009-08-10T08:17:50.982-04:002009-08-10T08:17:50.982-04:00I'm looking forward to some routine too.
