After learning about Lords and Ladies, Knights and Chivalry, Feasts and Entertainments, King Arthur and Robin Hood we invited our guests to a Medieval Feast.
Since I didn’t find a single curriculum booklist we needed/wanted, I simply edited and culled our own list.
Many of our books were found at the used bookstore.
Except for the classical history curriculum that created more work for me than solutions, I was quite happy with our other programs.
For our Ancient Rome history presentation we welcomed extended family flew 1500 miles to join local extended family members as our guests.
After the play, the kids removed their masks and put on their Greek costumes. Meet the Greek family (with a son who was a Greek hoplite).
After we ate, my kids took the guests on a tour through our homeschool museum of the various ancient cultures we had studied.
My son got super creative with his paragraph on Halley’s Comet, after studying Ancient Mesopotamia.
He created a slider and claslp for his comet pop up book.
Mom proclaims: This homeschool is not fluff! The rest of the family needs to come, and I’m going to tell them that. When is the next history presentation?
Amazed by all the things we learned with our classical dialectic history studies, that we invited our extended family to join our presentation.
