After learning about the Franks and Charlemagne, Tessa enjoyed hearing classic tales set around the time and in the land of Charlemagne's empire. While the fairy tales weren't new to Tessa, she especially enjoyed the versions we read.
Friday
- Read The Usborne Medieval World by Jane Bingham (pages 4-5).
- Completed HO map work for Lesson 2, Main Lesson.
- Read "Saint Theodora" (page 36) from Saints: Lives and Illuminations by Ruth Sanderson.
- Read Saint Nicholas by Ann Tompert.
Following Friday
- Worked on Blue House School Byzantine Bean Mosaic.
 |
| The pattern I designed for our project is based on a picture of a section of Byzantine marble mosaic bathhouse floor I found online at The Met. |
 |
| Tessa worked diligently on her part of the bean mosaic. (This was definitely a two-person project. It took several hours to complete. The end result would have looked nicer if the design would have been traced onto a board or other medium that would not have been affected by the wetness of the glue.) |
