Reformation and the Age of Exploration
Posted in The Academy
|
We have started another unit of history studies, focusing on some important people during the end of the middle ages, and the age of exploration. We read about the plague, the Crusades, and Richard the Lionheart in Story of the World, and we began Robin Hood in literature because it fit in quite nicely. Even in the original language my kids are really enjoying it! Here are a few of the other books we will have been enjoying as well: We have been reading Shakespeare from Tales From Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb for literature for past few years, but my kids LOVE Coville's books too. I agree, I always enjoya book with good pictures. We will also take a week to put the spotlight on the Netherlands: We actually only have about 4 more weeks on this, before we move into the American Colonies. I have anxiously awaiting the arrival of a large order of books form Amazon!  |
