Medieval Knights

In Story of the World (vol. 2), our chidlren are studying Medieval knights.  The focus today was on the process of becoming a knight.  Instead of the traditional narration activity, our frst grader, Ellie, wanted to create a digital poster expressing what she had learned.  With minimal help, she was able to work on this by herself. (Note: I did assist with typing.)  What a great way to assess comprehension while developing technology skills!

Norse Mythology

Our fourth grader is finishing her unit on the Vikings, or North Men.  She was asked to research Norse Mythology and discuss its influence in our lives.  She chose to create a slideshow in Google Docs for her presentation. 

I am sure she would love your comments and feel free to share.
