We have been learning about the Fertile Crescent, Mesopotamia, Sumer, all ancient things between Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. We got together with the B Family to do a few activities. The idea was to go to Lyle Creek and do these activities by a "river", but we needed to do a few things at home, and then due to lack of time, we decided just to do our water activity in their pool. Thank you flexibility! We learned a fun song about Ancient Mesopotamia on youtube, then learned about Ziggurats and made a the ancient temples...
We had a feast complete with dates and pomegranates and other healthy snacks from the day...
We wrote our names on clay tablets just like they did long ago...
And finished off the day making sail boats and testing them out in the pool. (Mesopotamians, we believe, were the first to invent sails)
Always fun to learn with friends!
