SOTW round two

  It's come full circle and my middles are doing Story of the World for the first time. I really enjoyed doing it when my big kids were little so this will be a fun adventure from the Nomads to ancient Egypt again. We have teamed up with another lake family for a weekly SOTW co-op.
I love doing studies like this in a group not only does it cover the selected material but many other areas as well. For example creativity, They learn to complete a task with group effort.  Finding ways to overcome obstacles and hearing new ideas and perspectives from other moms or children.
They learn to be flexible willing to change ideas and plans. Every week we rotate homes so the children learn to be hospitable sharing their space and things.  Us moms enjoy the Friday afternoon coffee chat once the children are done and off playing in the forest.

Our first week we built homes like the Nomads.  This was hours of outdoor creative problem solving skills.
