Mmmmhh…you may be thinking, what on earth is this crazy woman doing now? But bear with me there is method in my perceived madness. For Grade 5 we finished Atlantis studies with the destruction of Atlantis taking place in 9600BCE. I didn’t want to then hop forward to 3300BCE and launch myself into India, so […]
