We entered and exited World War I studies over the past few weeks. Most of what the kids have been doing is their readings. We learned about trench warfare and propaganda posters. For our movie we watched War Horse.
We learned about zeppelins (this is a good site from the BBC). Then Goosey made a zeppelin out of balloons. She taped three balloons together and attached a basket with a lego person in it. The tricky part was to balance it to hoover just above the ground! This was a hit for that week!
We are headed into the Great Depression and then eventually World War II.
