Beginning our next Lap Book Ancient History

For a week that I didn't have much planned turned into a week of not enough time in the day to do everything LOL.

We've added quite a bit of exercise in our routine this week. Each morning we either walked, jogged, or rode bikes. We took 2 hikes this week at our local state park and the kids and I have been riding our bikes around the neighborhood.

We have moved back to Language, Writing with Ease (WWE) and Story of the World (SOTW) Volume 1. We have started our lapbooks and we're using this awesome website I have found that has done most of the hard work for me. We read chapter 1 and cut out some artifacts and also put together a story book for the first people on what they ate and where they lived. We will begin on Chapter 2 next week, but we are going to be bouncing a little back and forth because I have books coming in still from the library and we are planning some projects that may take place after we complete a chapter.

My husband is planning on an Archeological Dig with the kids and we are picking up some sand next week and finding some treasures to add. We'll be using paint brushes to brush off our artifacts and draw pictures of what they find. I'm off to find some treasures....
