Greek Myths and Games

We've been learning about Greek mythology and playing a game about the different mythologies of greek, egyptian and norse.

The Greek myths are fun but some of them are kind of sad and not very good endings.




These are the names of heroes, titans and olympians.



Cyclops and The Nemean Lion


A big battle with blue atlantians trying to take over a city. I liked learning how the Greeks conquered Troy.

Cyrus the Great and math

A STORY OF CYRUS THE GREAT
We did an adventure where I learned about Cyrus and then we did math and music with a story where he was the character.



Cyrus was a great king because he was kind to the people he ruled and gave them more freedom than the other kings.



This is part of the story











These were math problems we had to solve and then there was a code riddle.



Here's a map of where we went in Persia



This was a music practice on the piano making up a song.
