Week 7: We did silk paintings. Co-op began with a sushi lunch. The kids filled their nori wraps with rice, egg, vegetables and got a chance to roll up their sushi. Then we learned all about the silk road. The wonderful mom in charge of the week's lesson created a large cardboard map and this little caravan cart. The kids loaded up the cart with silk and men to begin a journey down the silk road. They followed the path in the book The Silk Route: 7000 Miles of History by John Major. At each stop they traded away silk for various items such as carpets, horses and camels to bring back to China or use to continue the journey. Throughout the journey the blue yarn was taped to the map to represent the path of the silk road. Then using real silk fabric and special silk paint the kids got a chance to create their own silk paintings. To see more of our history activities please visit our History Page.

I am starting a series where I share our Story of the World adventures. We started when my son was 7, and went very slowly at first, adjusting lessons to his short attention span. The next year we joined up with a co-op doing this Volume, and went at a much faster pace, so later chapters (7 and on) show that somewhat. I took notes and am gradually adding these as I have time. Sorry for the slow place on adding new units. NOTE: I don't want anyone to think you HAVE to do all the supplementary stuff we did for SOTW. Many people just read the chapters and talk about them, maybe do an extra activity now and then. We did so much at first because I have a kiddo that needed that to get him engaged, and also because I love history and just wanted to do some of these things with him. But as we progressed we gradually did less projects and supplementing. STORY OF THE WORLD POSTS All of my Story of the World posts will be linked below, once they're published.
