Kindergarten, History, Week 9

Monday we read Chapter 9 from Child’s History. Items of note:

• Because K. knew this story (in more detail than in this book) from the Bible, I didn’t camp on the story.
• Jews were in Egypt 400 years
• Rameses the Great was the king when they left Egypt

Tuesday we looked at pages 20 – 25 in Ancient World.

Wednesday we read the Bible

• Selections from Genesis 28 – 39

Thursday we did Map It

• I got the globe and we identified 
• Egypt
• Red Sea
• Persian Gulf
• Euphrates and Tigris Rivers
• Babylonia
• Indus River
• Canaan
• Then we followed the travels of Abraham, etc.
• Abraham went from Ur (Babylonia) to Canaan
• Jacob went back to Babylonia to get away from Esau
• Jacob and his family went back to Canaan
• Joseph’s brothers sold him to Egypt, family followed later
• Moses/Joshua brought them out of Egypt to Canaan

Friday we worked on our timeline. I cut off what we had already done and stapled it up on the wall. When we have another long section done, we’ll add to it.
