Our study of the middle ages, rennaisance, and colonization of america- in picures

 Here are some pictures of our generic salt dough maps that we made as part of the geography study.  We covered deltas, plateaus, mountains, etc.


Here is a costume my dd made for our study of the Middle Ages

The pine trees out here in VA remind us of the movie "Pocahontas" by Disney.  It is the only thing they got right in the whole movie!  

Below are several pics of the "King's Ball" that we had on our second to last night in CW

  1. Thanks for sharing these! How delightful!
    We really enjoyed TOG for awhile. Then it didn't fit some of the children and my circumstances (my health), but I keep teasing I want to go through it FOR ME when the children are grown!
