Puppets

I had to do a review on a company called Puppet Tools. So to be able to see what puppets are all about we made several puppets for our homeschool. We have the lobster for math, Einstein for science, fox for English, beaver for spelling, cat for Raquel, Zebra for art. Both Vincent and Raquel love the puppets.

Clock Theme Study

So Vincent wanted to find out about clocks and how they work. Well, this was something I could not find a theme study already made out there in cyber space. Well, like any good homeschooling mom would do...I spent weeks looking, researching and finding all the information I could on clocks and then put it all together in a theme study. I really should sell it cause it is pretty good! Then we found this old clock of my moms and we tore it apart. We had so much fun on this theme study. Raquel joined in with us, but I really don't think she got much out of it. She was more interested in taking the clock apart.

Pharaoh Menes and the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt

Since we are on Egypt we learned about the first Pharaoh in Egypt. Pharaoh Menes. Now Vincent had the two crowns to unify Egypt too.

We are using Veritas Press Old Testament and Ancient Egypt.

Upper and Lower Egypt's Map

We are finally studying Egypt. Vincent has been looking so forward to doing this study. The first thing we need to learn is where Egypt is and the main place in Upper and Lower Egypt. These photos do not show the labels we ended up making for it. I have to admit...I made the Sphinx and Vincent made the pyramids.

We are using Veritas Press Old Testament and Ancient Egypt curriculum.
