We just started the Story of the World (Vol. 2 The Middle Ages) this week. We are talking about the fall of Rome. The kids love it! We studied Ancient Rome last year and had a blast. Tuesday we made our Roman Army and last night we ate like the Romans. It's was just a foil dinner with ground beef, potatoes, carrots and onions. It went over really well with kids (Dad wanted to use a fork-but he wasn't permitted :) )!
We also use The Learning Calendar each day. My kids really enjoy looking up what happened in history on this day.
Today was our art day and we talked a little about Kandinsky. We went to this site here and did an activity online. We took objects from around the house (like a shoe, a key & a ruler) and traced them with a crayon onto white paper. We then took watercolors and painted over the entire paper. The crayon resisted the paint. The kids really had a good time! I'm off to watch the kids jump on the trampoline.
