Ancient Egypt

I think my kids have really enjoyed and learned even more than I could of imagined during our study of Egypt. The other day ago I walked into the classroom and both kids had the tangram blocks out and had them erected up like a triangle. I had no idea what they were doing. When I asked, Bug said, "mom these are all pyramids, over here is the Valley of the kings and this here is the pyramids at Giza with the queens pyramids. Can't you tell Mom? It made me smile. Sometimes I wonder how much they really pay attention. It is so refreshing when something like this happens. As a mom who educates her children it's moments like these that you know that all the hard work is paying off. I wish I would have had my camera ready. Little decided to do a demolition to the site- much to Bug's dismay.
