For the winter break, we decided to take a "trip" from our cozy house to
Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece and had a fabulous time exploring some
sights, tastes, and history!
Making our tunics and togas
Kate read that Roman children sometimes kept pet monkeys
Here is Kate's sketch of the Pantheon
Steve's columns

We used GaGa's Art History book to help us to design our block temples
And here is the temple we made with toilet paper rolls! Steve did the battle scene on the pediment and Kate drew a domestic scene on the frieze.
Here is little Steve's plan for a Roman Aqueduct
And here is the working aqueduct!
Making homemade pasta
The kids were fascinated by Roman numerals and got a kick out of doing math using them!
Mosaics!
Toga Yoga?
Kate's red figure vase
We spent one day learning how to make bread
A delicious week!
