By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge
the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. ~Proverbs 24:3-4
• Aug. 28, 2009 - Week 3 of School
We just finished week 3!
In Adventures of Sea & Sky this week, we learned more about what it was like to be a sailor. We also learned about the Egyptians and Phoenician sailors.
The kids enjoyed watching me try to do the sailor dancing. They were laughing too hard to try it much themselves. Yes, Mei wanted to take pictures but since I was still in my nightgown, I refused!
This weekend I plan to pick up the dried beans to make the bean soup the sailors had to eat. We won't make hardtack since we made it back when we studied the pioneers in AS1. We enjoyed trying to remember all the various groups we have studied so far that ate hardtack - sailors, pilgrims, Civil War soldiers, pioneers, and probably escaping slaves. We also wondered how it compared to the elf bread in Lord of the Rings, but decided the elf bread probably tasted a whole lot better!

Mark working on his page;
Yes, we wear our PJs to school most every day. Just one of the many joys of homeschooling.
