Mystery of History Wrapping Up Volume 1
Posted in Mystery of History
We are almost finished with our school year, and trying desperately to finish history by Friday. We have 5 lessons left (somewhere along the way, we got behind. We normally only do 3 lessons a week.) This is such a great curriculum; I highly recommend it for all homeschool families. We have had a blast and have all learned so much! I can't wait to dig into Volume 2.
For our lesson on John the Baptist, we were supposed ot make locusts from vienna sausages (body), potato sticks (legs), apple slices (wings), mustard (dots for eyes) and honey (because that's the way J the B ate them.) I was hoping the kids wouldn't notice ill prepared and didn't have all the ingredients. Undeterred, my 8 year old daughter improvised and made this (and another one for her brother.) She used brocolli slaw for the legs, potato chips for the wings and ranch for the eyes because Spenser doesn't like mustard. We skipped the honey because we were out and frankly honey and sausage-- eww.

Cute, cute! They'll remember that. I wish locusts looked that friendly. How are you doing on the mission trip thing?

I saw your note on the yahoo MOH group and thought I'd peek. We too are doing MOH. We're a quarter behind you, finishing 3rd QTR next week and waiting on 4th for fall. (Planned it that way...it's so rich!) I also saw your other curriculum choices, we did Christian kids Biology this year too and are doning Latina Christiana next year. We also do a literature based Language Arts, Total Language plus. Interesting similarities!

Hi! I saw your post on a Yahoo group (not sure which one now), and I wanted to drop by.
Love the locusts snacks. Very cute! And sleeping at the kitchen table -- great!
My DD loves to school in PJs!
