Jun. 6, 2006 - School
We've given up formal lessons this week to do some studying on Ancient Egypt. Last week mom went to Chicago and saw the King Tut exhibit and brought the kids back some stuff. They seemed really interested so I thought we'd go with that for a bit. I got them a book about pyramids and how they're built and a really fun kit that has heiroglyphics, games, activities, and other cool stuff to do. I think tomorrow we'll make King Tut's mask. There's a recipe for an Egyptian sweet, but it's made with dates and honey and the girls won't eat dates and I don't eat honey, so I don't think we'll be making that. It sounds really good, though.
So that puts us almost two weeks behind in our school. No big deal since the last couple of weeks are really light so it won't be any trouble to catch up. After all that's done, I'm taking a break. No school for a whole week. Even if they beg.
