One down 35 to go

Well, the first week of the 08-09 school year has been successfully completed. The new kids are doing very well. We are off to a great start.
This is my third time around. We will learn about maps and charts and graphs, and how to read their information. We will become cartographers. We will see far off lands, and walk down the Great Wall of China. We will see the Taj Mahal up close. We will learn about ancient Egypt and King Tut and all those cool guys. We will learn how people were mummified, and did their brains really come out through their nose? (yes, they did!) The grosser it is, the more the kids will love it. Just wait till we get to the Renaissance and start learning about The Black Death!
Gee Whiz, I love it all.
Have a great week, KellyGirl
