Great week.  We are doing dialectic with 2 boys and upper grammar with 1.  This week, they read great books like The Golden Goblet and A Place in the Sun.  The are reading books on Ancient Egyptians, Science of Ancient Egyptians and The Encyclopedia of Ancient Worlds.  They are all wonderful and informative.  We learned all sorts of wonderful things about the amazing Nile River and its importance to the Egyptians..  What a great selecion of books TOG provides!!!

We got all their maps set up this week.  We are using transparencies layed over the base maps to mark things.  They REALLY enjoyed this.  It was labor intensive for the dialectic boys but fun, nonetheless.  They also studied a TON of new geographical terms this week.  We decided for our project, we would make a map of an imaginarty place and include as many of these terms/features as possible.  They turned out so well.  I hope go get pictures up for you all soon.

All in all, it was a great week.  They boys are excited to get going and study pyramids, pharoahs, and mummies next week  :-)  Boys will be boys.
