Zach and I are almost done studying Ancient Rome.  We are finishing up The Eagle of the Ninth as a read aloud and Zach's current readers is The Bronze Bow which is about Galilee during Roman occupation, in the time of Jesus.

The younger kids and I have been reading about volcanoes so we made one out of salt dough and then today we made "lava" with red food coloring, baking soda, and vinegar, and we watched it erupt. 

Some other things the kids have been busy with:

Making musical "instruments"

Trying to make a rocket out of a bottle and vinegar and baking soda

Reading with dad

Losing teeth

And my favorite, Luke reading to the other kids
