Liquid conversion chart

Once upon a time..

there was a huge Garden 

and in that garden 

lived Four Queens

each Queen had a Prince and a Princess

Each of them 

carried Two Crates

and inside each Crate was Eight Oranges.

Sometimes its the silly little things

that help us remember the bigger ones.

In this case we are talking " Liquid Conversions"

Gallon

Quarts

Pints

Cups

& Ounces

Do you have any shortcuts to help your homeschoolers remember stuff?

Hieroglyphics

Part of our Egypt study was on hieroglyphs

I try to take things out of what we are studying that we can actually DO.

In this case I made copies of the hieroglyphs

and gave each native two copies. 

"One for you to write with and the other, for whomever you write to, to decode it "

My youngest wrote a letter in regular English writing 

and then wrote a secret message at the end in hieroglyphics.

Then put it in an envelope and addressed it to "Dad"

There was even a little fake stamp on it

My middle one did about half and half 

and the eldest wrote her entire letter to Grandma coded in it.

The letters were fun to write

And the return letters in the mail were also fun!

win win!

And an A+ goes out to my Mom, who's letter we just got and decoded. ;)
