Ancient Civilizations - DONE!

We have finally completed the Giant Lapbook that we began last spring when we started studying the ancient civilizations! We have a had a LOT of fun completed this, but we are also BOTH rather glad that it is over! All graphics and cuts that were used were from the History Pockets series created by Evan-Moor. While we did not do every part from the books we did do a TON of them! KM is very proud of what she has produced!

We will be taking a break from our History Time Line for a little bit to do a 5 week unit study on Inventors! I will keep you posted and be sure to share links for any useful sites!

Ancient Greece - Unit Study Resources

We have begun our study on Ancient Greece and so far KM is enjoying it! This is such a great topic that I have put together a TON of resources from different areas and thought I would share some of our favorites -

• Horrible Histories - I finally broke down and got the DVD set on Ebay and I am so glad! I had heard mixed things about it, but KM really likes it.
• Ancient Civilizations for Children - Ancient Greece - we get this series through our library
  
• We are continuing with our History Pockets from Evan-Moor to keep our GIANT Lapbook going!
• 
• We are using the Teacher Created Resource Literature Unit to go along with D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths.
• We are also using an Interdisciplinary Thematic Unit from Teacher Created Materials.
• We will be using a few of the activities from Hands-On Heritage Ancient Greece Activity Book - these activities will be done more on days when the Littles are here so that we can allow SC to participate as well.

We also have a TON of reading books, but I am not sure which ones she will choose to use and which ones will get shelved for later. I will keep everyone posted though if there are any really good ones.
