Jenna is really enjoying her Greek Mythology! I thought I would share some of her work with you. We are using Live Education for this grade five block and I am also using a wonderful book, called the D’Aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths. It is such a beautiful book with lovely illustrations. We are also using the Eyewitness book about Ancient Greece.
The pictures above are about Dionysus, the god of wine, and a beeswax model of the Parthenon and a writing from the temple of Delphi, which reads in English, ‘Man know thyself and thus know the world.’
I am reading ‘The Black Ships Before Troy’ to Jenna and she is reading ‘Hittite Warrior’ independently. We are really enjoying this block!
Wonderful progress thus far! Thanks for sharing with us.
I loved Rosemary Sutcliff’s versions of the Iliad and Odyssey! I felt a much deeper connection through her gentle storytelling manner.

Thanks so much, I look forward to all your blog postings on your blog, they are really inspiring.
where in South Africa do you live? I had my 7th grade write pen pal letters to the Michael Oak school.
We live in Johannesburg, Michael Oak is in Cape Town, which is quite far from us. We are close the Michael Mount Waldorf school, that’s about 1 hour away.
