a look back...

One of the reasons for starting this blog was to journal the
things the girls and I encounter on our homeschooling journey,
so even though some of these events took place a few months ago,
I feel it helpful to touch on them here... for future perusal and
possible compilation for some university application in our future - lol.

We have been reading Story of the World as a jumping point for studying history and we are up to the story of King Narmer and the fight over upper and lower Egypt and the control of the Nile delta.

The girls had an absolute blast learning this chapter with their friends. We read the story, then proceeded to create individual King Narmer crowns for the girls.

We then made our way to the beach to create our own Nile delta, and act out the epic battle.

I can promise, that moment in history will not be soon forgotten in their minds.

(Of course, some pictures and basic story details have made it into their history binders for future perusal -- not to mention when we visit our blog.

And finally, we also had the opportunity to visit with the ever so kind ladies from the trout farm we visited in 2008, when they came down to restock our friends lake. The ladies let the girls try their hand at releasing the fish into the water, holding their breath as their new fish friends floundered their way into the depths.
