Step into the world of ancient Egypt in Week 5 as your child becomes an explorer alongside archaeologist Howard Carter, uncovering the treasures of King Tut’s tomb! Through playful and interactive language activities like sight word games, alphabet signal cards, and phonics practice, your child will strengthen early literacy skills while building confidence in retelling stories.
Math adventures bring 3D shapes to life with hands-on building, matching, and problem-solving, using real examples from Egyptian artifacts to connect geometry to history in a way that’s both fun and meaningful. Social studies and science transport learners to the deserts and pyramids of Egypt, sparking curiosity with videos, journal prompts, and explorations of how people and animals adapt to their environment.
Creative expression takes center stage as your child paints a glowing Egyptian sunset with pyramids, while character lessons on attentiveness show them how paying attention can unlock discoveries, just like it did for Howard Carter. Week 5 is a journey of wonder, creativity, and learning that brings history to life!

Have We Met?
Hi, I'm Maraya
Â
Welcome! I'm a wife and mom who's passionate about helping families with littles homeschool with confidence and joy. Â
Your little one's brain doubles from birth to age three but the next doubling doesn't occur again until they're an adult.  Wow!  That means the time you have right now is so precious. That's why it's my mission to provide comprehensive, easy-to-implement complete-year homeschool programs to take the planning of your plate so you can spend more time snuggling, playing and laughing... because that's what they'll remember most.Â
Thank you for the love and dedication you show your families everyday. The world is a better place because of you.
Sincerely,
