It's been a slow, last week as I've been trying to fully recuperate from whatever "tropical virus" it was that hit me so hard. We've been getting quite a bit of school work done though since we've been at home. I have a few pictures to share.
Just two more weeks of our "formal school" and then we're doing Summer School...Sissi is super excited about all of the painting and art we'll be doing.
So am I, to be honest.
We have finished learning about the American Revolution and this week have moved onto the crafting of the US Constitution, learning some of the basics of the French Revolution, and getting an introduction to Napoleon. To wrap it up, Indy brought out "To Forge a Nation" and the boys played the American Revolution part of the game. Krpto did win the game, it came really close; but, the final battle (and winning shots) were taken at Savannah, GA ;). Funny, huh!
This is what the game looks like. When we hit the War of 1812 next fall, I think it will be coming back out again. It was quite the hit!
We started our "State Book" this week (taken from Road Trip USA via www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com)
We read about each state as it joins the union and then a few pages out of our "First Facts" book. We find the state on the map of the US and I think they've found it to be really exciting.
Just a few of the books we've read this week. We've also read "Shhh, We're Writing the Constitution", several more chapters in "Carry on, Mr. Bowditch", "Felicity" and watched the movie, chapters in "Story of the World", and started a book about Napoleon!
How has your school year been wrapping up? Have you been up to anything new and exciting? Be sure to share with us, we love new ideas!
