art and greek mythology

 
 
Painting by Goose.
Reminds me of Georgia O'Keefe.
 

 
 




 
Greek mythological creatures by Binky.
 

 
Poseidon's Trident by Binky.
 
We are studying Greece and Greek mythology right now.
Binky read the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series by
Rick Riordan.  He LOVED it!!  So, we are learning all we can about the greek gods and
goddesses.  He has created files for many of the gods and mythical creatures.
Rick Riordan has a great site for learning about this time period and series.
This week we will be listening to The Iliad and then The Odyssey on audiobook.
I love audiobooks.  I love listening with the kids and being able to do other things, like art or
crochet.  It is very relaxing! 
It is already warm and sunny at 10am.
I was hoping to take the kids to the pool, but
they aren't open during the week yet.  So annoying!
Don't they know we homeschoolers like to swim, too?!
