Ancient Greece

Regular school is over for the summer, but that just means we get to continue homeschooling at a more relaxed pace. We have continued studying world history, by learning about ancient Greece.

One of the books we read was Hour of the Olympics, by Mary Pope Osborne.



Like many of the Magic Tree House series, Hour of the Olympics, has several on-line resources that can go with it.

This week's bedtime stories have been chapters from Jason and the Argonauts. During yesterday's reading, Blaze put together (with a little help) a model of a greek ship.
