Art, crafts & history

We are always doing some sort of art around here. There is a craft that goes with almost every lesson....and if it isn't a craft it's a song. We are like Schoolhouse Rock on crack. I love it when a huge lesson sings or crafts it's way into their brains. It's "feel good" learning in Casa de Conley. In this lesson we have been going over ancient Egypt. We cover our Classical Conversations memory work, do a little "Story of the World" , load up on many associated books & DVD's from our local library (Voyage to the Pharos, Drive through History, etc.) and naturally sing and craft our way right to the end. Below are a few pic's of our pyramids and color sheets...girls loved writing their names in hieroglyphics.
