Olympics....Homer style






The youngers recently completed Homer Price as one of their studies for Beyond Five in A Row. Usually, we end a unit and have a review or a special dinner, but we didn't really *do* anything when we finished our time in Centerburg.....


However, the oldest, who finished with Beyond and FIAR some time ago, is in an ancient history cooperative class. These boys are unearthing ancient Greece right now, and decided to host a day of Olympic games for their younger siblings. After the opening procession, we were visited by several Greek athletes before the opening ceremony. We then competed in world class olympic events ( the wrestling got a little out of hand in my family :-/) that would have made Homer, Uncle Ulysses and Uncle Telemachus proud.....Say! If only we'd had some doughnuts!
