We are studying ancient history this year and I must say we are enjoying it.  I’ve always liked reading about ancient history and it’s nice to see Parker enjoying it too!  Sophie doesn’t always seem to be paying attention during the lessons but I’ll catch her later incorporating some of the terms we discuss in her play such as her toy dinosaurs climbing ziggarauts and sailing down the Nile river.  We use Susan Bauer’s Story of the World for our history curriculum and it is really easy to use and has lots of good information in the student activity guide.  I teach an ancient history class at our homeschool co-op and this is where we do the majority of our hands-on history projects.  This past week we made sarcophoguses and mummies.  It was a big hit!
