Read another short book today on Egyptian history from a title on my daughter’s second grade reading list.
I have more books on my dining room table purchased for next year’s curriculum, but frankly, I do not find the medieval genre calling my name.
In fact, I keep putting off reading a couple of those books though I need to get through them. In the meantime, I enjoyed reading 4 books to my kiddos this evening after dinner.
My son really loves the Sir Cumference series. This is a cute series of four books based on math concepts like circumference, diameter, radius, angles, and more.
The series is set in medieval times around the time of King Arthur. I am enjoying this series and watching my son make the connections between the names of the characters and the terms in math.
