Homeschool: Going Greek

 

Amidst the Christmas season, we continued our schooling - including a unit on ancient Greeks.
These lovely entertainers would like to sing you a song on their lyres.

The lyres took a long time to create - and broke way too easily!
Oh well, learning is in the process ... right?

 

They tried keeping the Greek history timeline straight with this Popsicle game.
(the Minoans came first .. then a volcano exploded and covered their island ... and so forth).

We thoroughly enjoyed a few summaries of famous Greek mythology.
Homer's Trojan horse and Odysseus were the favorites. So we painted our own illustrations.

Here's Big Sis' cyclops.

Here's E!'s cyclops (I love how his artwork is coming to life lately!).

Here's Big Sis' Trojan Horse.

And I participated too ...

Plus the trio memorized a poem (not a Greek one ... a Christmas one) and performed it during their Greek show off day. Dad worked from home that day, so he was privileged to a lyre song, poetry reading and exclusive showing to the fresh artwork. :)
