Geography homeschooling style - The Roman Empire



We had done enough paper maps and labeling so we decided to shake things up a bit! Victoria and Jonathan were given a regular ( paper ) map of the Roman Empire and a cake with icing and candies. With my help they iced the outline then colored in the water and land. Then they had to find a list of locations on the map print out the names on flags and mark the locations with smarties. Hershy kisses for mountains. It was great to hear Jonathan running from the map to his cake map with a candy telling Victoria " I want to label Sicily ! " and then " I love map work "

This is cool!


We did a great job! It was fun! When do we eat?


Ta DAAAAA!

Sarah and Rebecca got a harder job. Create a salt dough map of the Roman Empire 3D. Yes they worked together and learned the joys of a group project! They handled it very well and did a great job ( still to be painted ). Way to go girls!
We are working together!
