Ordered "DK Pocket Genius: Ancient Rome" on Amazon and it's the perfect addition to our curriculum.  It has everything we have and will be learning this year.  The kids opened it and started looking through it and quickly started pointing out several items that we have already gone through and learned.  It's great seeing them so excited to show me everything they have learned.

SCIENCE 


Talked more about trees, canopy, observing the different sizes of trees, and trying to identify them.


Went over our lapbook on trees, reviewed the trees life cycle, and the layers of a tree trunk.


Observed our leaf collection, which we will have to redo since this set is very old and is starting to fall apart, then went outside to see which leaves we could identify. 


D reviewed the five senses and then completed his little booklet.


Brought out our Honeybee board (K made it for her presentation for 4H) so D could look at it and study everything about them.  Their life cycle, parts of a bee, form of communication, and how they help the environment.  


Made these compound eyes awhile ago to go with our honeybee study.  Bees see things like mosaic art and in pixels, one of the kids favorite thing to play with.  


Made an arch with our Mengatiles, great way to show the kids the construction of one.


After building the arch the kids then built their own bridges.


She loved building arches with their Magnatiles.


Made a bridge using index cards, books to represent the hill, and coins to represent people.  First the kids laid a flat index card in between the books, the kids then placed as many coins as possible on the card till it gave way.  Afterwards placed another index card under the first one creating an arch under it.  It was a great demonstration showing how much support the arch gives the bridge.  


We made a aqueduct to go with our lesson and get a better feel of how it works.  Romans were awesome engineers.  The word aqueduct comes from Latin and means bringer of water.  Kids really enjoyed playing with their aqueduct, hoping we can make one that will last longer then this one.
