Friday Home school

Clark and Emily McCauley home schooled with us today. We've been studying about the Egyptians and the first type of writings used around 3200BC. We made Cuneiform plaques (like the Sumerian's made before papyrus was used). They each wrote their name and a message using the Cuneiform symbols. This is a picture of Justin's clay plaque.
Then I gave the kids a gingerbread kit and left them alone to figure it out.

After working on it together for about an hour they produced this gingerbread wonder! They had so much fun! I was impressed with their creativity and teamwork.

Then we went to the Wright's home for some more creative building. The kids made a very cool marble maze.

It was a fun day spent with good friends and fun activities.
