Week 10: We built scale models of Greek Temples. This lesson combined history and math for a unique learning experience. The kids had to select an Ancient Greek temple to model to scale. My son chose the Temple of Hephaestus located in Athens, Greece. He found it was 104 feet long by 45 feet wide and estimated the height at about 30 feet. The temple has columns on all four sides. There are six Doric columns on the front and back, and thirteen along each long edge. We decided that one long block would equal 10 feet. Then he counted by 10's and rounded to determine he needed 10 long blocks and 1 short block down the long wall and 4 long blocks and 1 short block across the front and back. Scale model of the Temple of Hephaestus in Athens, Greece Scale model of the Temple of Poseidon in Sounion, Greece My daughter chose to model the Temple of Poseidon which is very similar to the Temple of Hephaestus. They were both constructed from marble and likely designed by the same person. Instead of 34 columns, her's had 42. The Temple of Poseidon today stands in a ruined state in Sounion, Greece. Sounion is located about 1.5 hours from Athens on the legendary spot where Theseus's father Aegeus saw Theseus returning from Crete with the black sail hoisted on his ship. Understanding scale is a very important skill. It has applicability in mapping, model making and in engineering drawings. This was a fun way for the kids to gain a better understanding of this concept while connecting it with their history studies. To see more of our History activities please visit our history page.
We (my 4, almost 5, year old and I…and sometimes my 2 year old) are part of a small homeschool co-op consisting of 7 kiddos (and some younger siblings) who are all currently 4 and 5 years old. We meet once a week and the moms take turns putting a themed lesson together. We’ve been doing this for three years now and have, obviously, tailored what we choose to teach based on the kids’ ages.

Our tiny homeschool co-op (6 students, 3 families) meets weekly for poetry recitation and writing. We fill the rest of our time with science projects or drawing. For the most part we're using Mona Brookes' Drawing With Children, but this week another mom found something different. We gave the children an upside down line drawing to copy. Even though most of them figured out what the image was, they focused on following the lines and curves as presented. After turning their pictures around, they added watercolors for beautiful results. See for yourself: by Rebecca, age 7 by Marianna, age 11
