This last week in history we studied the early mesopotamian civilizations which started out as nomads. Haley learned that these people were hunters and gatherers, having to wander from place to place as the natural resources (grass, berries, deer etc.) got used up. We made a poster chart of the chapter (I like doing charts) to better visualize the information.
I think its important at this young age to transfer ideas to visuals because their little brains cant yet comprehend it as a big picture. Next were on to Egypt- so after Thanksgiving vacation I plan to get into all the heiroglyphics (?) and pyramid stuff.
For Art our works are being displayed in a small hallway of our house deemed "the art gallery". I like to laminate them first or at least slip them into clear paper protectors so we can keep the good ones. I loove white christmas lights so I've also lined the
"gallery" with those to make it even more special.
