Today has been a better day, although MB has been clingy. But, gee I am really tempted to school seven days a week. It seems when we go off our schedule for weekends we get in trouble.
Today we worked through a really neat site for the studies of the ancients. Has some great multi-media activities, although most are for older elementary. There are timelines and articles, and virtual tours. We focused on the ancient egyptians and did the make a mummy interactive, again probably older, as it requires reading skills and definetly not for the squeamish (details of how the brains are actually removed without making a cut.) Then we went to the pyramid builder game, which was even more advanced and kind of reminded me of games like Oregon Trail. The virtual tours inside the pyramids.
The site also offers similar links on rome, greece, britian and vikings. Even if it is a little on the advance site for young elementary it is a great resource for the teacher.

Thought I would share.
Peace,
