Pompeii

Earlier this week I wrote about the Facebook page Traveling Through History with Doctor Who.  The first lesson is about Pompeii.  We immediately started watching the Doctor Who episode "The Fires of Pompeii." She found it very interesting the similarities between it and the documentary we watched on Netflix "Pompeii: The Last Day."

Due to an unexpected event the kiddo worked on her own on Tuesday using Minecraft to built Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii as it might have looked before the eruption in 79 A.D.   Yesterday she focused on a map of Italy and the surrounding countries, major cities, physical features.  she quickly discovered she had heard of several major cities in Italy.

Next week we will start building our volcano...
