When I was contacted to review Kris Bordessa’s excellent hands-on history books, I was thrilled. The timing was perfect, as we’d planned to do some light homeschooling throughout the summer months.
Earlier this week, I wrote about the decoding project we did from Great Colonial Projects You Can Build Yourself.
My nine-year-old easily read the interesting Greek history behind the abacus, as well as the directions for gathering the materials and making one. It took us a little while to figure out how to calculate, but that was half the fun. And showing adults how he can use it is one of his greatest pleasures.
Fun project and awesome book! (Watch for giveaways for both of these books in the next week!)
