We had an amazing first day of Second Grade! We did an Egyptian "escape room" from , and for every puzzle she completed she earned a prize! Then we listened to the first chapters of both of our history curriculums, we learned about how to write a story, took a "quest" to Constantinople to learn about Justinian building the Hagia Sophia, played in the pool, then began building the Hagia Sophia on Minecraft!
