I am truly enjoying Wednesdays Around the World. I love seeing others link up with what they have been learning. This week, I will be highlighting what others have been learning in history. You see, just when I think we are in the groove with school, something happens. My children and I ended up sick! I ended up taking a child to the doctor yesterday because he just was not improving. He is now on an antibiotic and breathing treatments, as needed. It is a nasty Upper Respiratory infection. We are finally on the mend and will begin a full day of school tomorrow.
Now on to sharing what others have been learning in their history lessons. Lindsay, from Bytes of Memories and her son studied about Joshua, The Battle of Jericho and Rahab. I loved how creative Lindsay got with this activity. To help explain the lesson, Lindsay and her son built a city of blocks and used little playmobil men.
Just head on over and visit Lindsay, her son to see how they learned about The Battle of Jericho! I know I will be re-doing this lesson with my kids just so we can do her activity!
Ticia and her kids from Adventures in Mommydom learned about what it was like in the Trenches of World War I. I love how Ticia takes the time to share with her kids that war is not as glamorous as what we are lead to believe. I love the imagination used, by using pillows and cushions to build the trenches and then using rolled or balled up socks as mortars.
Be sure to visit Ticia at Adventures in Mommydom to read the full lesson!
I am looking forward to diving back into our history to see what new lessons we can learn. I would love to have you share with us what you have been learning as well. Just link up below!

We are feeling much better! I am so ready to get back into our school routine. I loved your post and plan on using this lesson to talk about war with my children! Thank you for sharing it with everyone!
We’ve had the sickies this past week too!! Glad yours are feeling better (per your follow-up post), and thanks for joining the Fellowship Friday linkup!
As a side note, I love those bookcases in Ticia’s photo!! I’ll have to go check out her blog and see where she got those! 😉 Thanks!
