Learned about animals from Greece and added them to our animal wall
Tried to build the Greek Parthenon using Nuudles, we’ll just say that one didn’t work out that well, but it was still fun trying!
We completed our Greece lapbook activity:

This is awesome, do you do the same activities for all of your kids of different ages? I like the God's animal page. Lifewithmadeline.blogspot.com
I lo9ve the God's Animal wall! What a great idea!
Love the Parthenon that your son made. Great lesson. Kerri
They do the same activities, but just at different levels. For example on the animal lapbook component, my preschooler just cuts hers out, sometimes she colors the cover page. The older kids do all that as well as write the sentences out.My preschooler does do our map each day though and knows where all the countries we've learned are along with their capital and how to say hello in their language. Then of course she does the crafts with us too.She doesn't do any reports, I do quiz her but it's orally not written.
The activities you have listed here-are they the same as the Expedition Earth book?
Angela:Mostly, there are more things in the curriculum that may not be listed, I just post what I manage to take pictures of!
