Our second block of the fifth grade school year was Ancient Cultures, which combined language arts, history, social studies and geography. As an aside, anytime we are not in a math block we always start our day with some math practice on the board, so that those skills do not get forgotten. Our first area of focus was India and it covered two weeks. As usual, we began by mapping India and studying the indigenous plants and animals. We learned the origin story Manu and the Flood. We found references to Atlantis and compared it to Noah's ark. For any of the myths or history stories, we follow a two day schedule of learning. On the first day I tell the story, usually with a chalk drawing I have prepared, and Jack will make a main lesson page drawing. On the following day he will retell the story, in his own words, while we work on language mechanics. Some days he just writes, but if it is a complicated story I may help him make an outline first to make sure we don't leave out any crucial information. We found a beautiful version of the Ramayana in the book A Year Full of Stories. We really enjoyed learning about the faith of India through the Bhagavad-Gita and comparing it to our own values. \ Since the boys are in the school room together, they often hear parts of their brother's main lessons. Will was halfway paying attention to the story of Rama and Sita when he heard mention of the Monkey King, Hanuman. I guess the idea of a Monkey King proved irresistible to Will and he immediately had to drop his own project and get his vision on paper! This is one of my favorite things about homeschooling: that we have the space for this kind of work. Our third week of study focused on Buddha. Again, we compared our own values and faith with The Eightfold Path and the Noble Truths. For our final week of study, we spent the first day mapping Persia. The following day we covered Zarathustra. Again, this was a great opportunity to compare and contrast all of these world religions with our own. How wonderful to see so many core values in common. Later in the week we looked at Xerxes and the wars with Greece. Jack is excited to get to the Ancient Greece block (thanks, Percy Jackson!), so he was eager to hear mention of Sparta. We may have taken more of a Greek focus than was intended, but it's nice to have the student so eager!
Hands down, our favorite part of this week was our Float the Nile game! It was great comprehension practice for our pre-readers and they loved getting
