All 3rd grade roads lead to Rome...

“How is it possible to say an unkind or irreverential word of Rome?  The city of all time, and of all the world!” ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne

If you recall one of the key components of Classical Education is making connections and from time to time I like to highlight those connections in our curriculum.  Third graders at Eagle Ridge Academy spend a good amount of time studying Roman history and mythology.  The third grade teaching team is very purposeful in integrating this study in other subjects.  Students see and use Roman numerals, create their own ancient Roman newspapers, and draw classic Roman architecture in art.  These are just a few things to done to make those connections. Enjoy the pictures below and maybe learn a little about ancient Rome!







Have a great week!
