We are using Konos with My Father's World and Tapestry of Grace. Wow what an odd way to do this. My high schoolers are using TOG so I was tyring to keep us somewhat on the same page but I know how well my younger ones learn from Konos. So in my planning I used My Father's World and Konos simultaneosly. We will not reach the end of MFW because we are smelling the roses along the way and I am okay with that.
So this week we watched a Nest video on Columbus, a National Geographic video, read the D'Aulaire book on Columbus and my big kids read The World of Columbus by G. Foster.
The younger kids also studied water, ships, bouyancy. I was amazed ( I should know by now how amazing my kids are) at all the questions they asked, all the conclusions they came to just by building simple tinfoil boats and floating them, blowing on them.
Wish I had pictures to show but their dad couldn't figure out why there was three pieces of tin foil in the boys room so he tossed them.
