Roman Gods: Child-Led Lesson

 j

Tying up our Roman Empire studies and segueing into Ancient Greece, we recruited our resident Mythology expert to teach a lesson on Roman Gods.

Fridays are reserved for Presentation Days (for the littler ones, Show & Tell) so she incorporated her lesson into presentation time and set out two levels of activities for her siblings. The first was a scavenger hunt and word scramble, hiding the nine planets to be matched according to size on a corresponding paper. The second level was an art lesson, complete with objects to trace that would serve as relative sizes of the planets.
