Summer School
We are flying through school these last few weeks. We are studying the Romans.
We’re reading “Who Were the Romans?” and “Going to War in Roman Times”.
Watching videos Hannibal’s War Elephants and looking at images of Etruscan mosaics.
We’ve read some fun Roman picture books- “Saving Cloelia” and “Cleopatra” and are working our way through the New Testament books of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.
Pictures below are of the kids making their own mosaic pictures for a snack one day- they’ve got graham crackers spread with white frosting and a bowl of mini M&M’s. They did these after looking at some pictures on the Internet of Etruscan mosaics and discussing how small tiles were used to form a larger picture. Savvy of course just played around. Mary tried to make the outline of a castle wall. I can’t remember now what Nathan’s was (It’s 6/18 as I write this).
