Story of the world

We are having so much fun with this program.  We don't use it curriculum style b/c we can miss weeks if other things come up however it has so many fun actitivites that we just love it when we do get to work on it.

The Nile
This is ancient Egypt with The Nile.   I never said we were artists.  :)
