Definitely a two week lesson! Chapter 20- Greece Getting Civilized Again. From a suggestion from the blog, we made columns like the architecture of Greece with regular printing paper and to our surprise, it held 99 books! She also wrote her name in the Greek alphabet. Chose not to do the Olympic crafts since we did that the year before in school when the Olympics were on, but would do those for next time for sure!
Made the Persian Ruler's silver plate which Mac decorated in Chapter 21 about the Medes and Persians. Also read through Esther for our devotion time.
Chapter 22 about Sparta and Athens, we wrote on the Athenian Wax Tablet (or shortening) and got tattooed.
Chapter 23 about Greek Gods watched the Storyteller movie. Chapter 24 nothing extra for Wars of the Greeks.
Chapter 25 Alexander the Great. Daddy explained the difference between the Bowline and Sheet Bend knots and how the Gordian know would have been so hard to untie that Alexander cut it.
And of course during the course of this time we had our Greek dish of chicken souvlaki, pitas and Greek orzo salad.
