Notebook pages: We added to our colonies book.

Project: This week I gave the kids the assignment to design an Indian village and to act out the Jamestown settlement with Playmobile figures. They spent HOURS on this. It was very fun. There are 10 little mini-segments, but I'll spare you and just put the first segment.

OK, I decided to do the second segment too, so you could actually see the village!

Unit Celebration

For unit 2, the focus was on the Renaissance and the Reformation. The two oldest girls memorized portions of Shakespeare and the younger kids wrote speeches.

They performed their speeches in their Elizabethan masks because we were studying the time period.













Seth did his speech on Leonardo da Vinci

Annsley memorized the "to be or not to be" speech.
