Reviews I can’t say enough about the quality of the materials in the Project Passport series, as well as from Home School in the Woods in general. Everything is so thoughtfully created, and the finished product is truly a keepsake for years to come. This history study of Ancient Greece is no different! As my 12-year old daughter, Haylee, and I printed and assembled the various scrapbook items in the study, we shared them with the rest of the family. My husband was so impressed with how everything turns out so nicely, and I think it’s really cool the way so many elements are highly interactive. It definitely adds to the interest level for the kids. – Kelly at KGB That’s Me! blog We LOVE the fun projects and activities that Home School in the Woods incorporates in all of their studies – and Ancient Greece meets all of our expectations. You can choose to work on a notebook or a lapbook (or both!), create a newspaper, work on hands-on projects, play games, or create a timeline. The study is completely personalized – you can do as much or as little as you want. - Tonia at The Curriculum Choice blog Sample We have provided you with one "Stop" from our Project Passport study.
