Faces of History

We have been working the past few weeks on a research paper for Jake's homeschooling co-op.  (We love Classical Conversations!)  We are studying ancient history this year with C.C., so all our writing in Essentials was been based on it, and Jake decided to do his paper on Caesar Augustus.  After the paper was complete we had a faces of history night and all the students dressed as the historical person they had done their paper on (changing the research paper from 3rd person into 1st for the presentation).  It was so awesome!!  We are so blessed with an amazing homeschool co-op!!! 

King David (Gabe), Caesar Augustus (Jake), King Tut (Carter), & Aristotle (Jonathan)
 Sara (Sarah), Esther (Emily), Eve (Trinity), & Ashely (I can't remember who she was!!! Someone from the Bible...)

 Queen Hatshepsut (Kathryn) getting ready.

We are so blessed to be surrounded by amazing, Christian homeschoolers and friends.  I can't believe we only have 6 weeks left!!!!
