Royalty

We finished up the unit on Kings and Queens and it was so fun! Caley chose to research Queen Victoria. She picked her out of a book of princesses such as Marie Antoinette and Queen Elizabeth. We took the research project very slowly, first checking out books from the library, then looking through them, then synthesizing information from them (and the internet) into a list, studying the list, choosing pictures from the book for each item we learned, photocopying the pictures, then making a poster with the pictures and the information we listed. Caley presented her poster at playgroup in front of her friends. She did very well, with my help. It was good practice for her!
During the unit we made swords and shields and studied the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and we made a sugar cube castle. The girls were so excited about the castle! And they snitched the sugar, surprise surprise  (so did Mommy).
We've also been doing math and are moving into money and we set up a store. We also did a painting day and I just let the girls create! I was impressed with their artistic creativity. I love these children.

During the unit we also did some playgroup activities and we did a medieval feast! That was the best part. Pictures will be added soon.

We have since moved onto learning about military and general obedience. So the last few weeks have been kind of relaxed. It's been nice after a few weeks of crazy time. Caley helped me in the kitchen cutting strawberries and her new job is clearing the table. Woohoo!
