I didn’t want to share my Athena paper doll because the fashion illustration was historically inaccurate. It was silly, so here it is in its imperfect glory.
Athena paper doll by Eve
Minerva was Athena in Rome
Atenea is Spanish
Atena in Italian
Since Athena’s name is extremely ancient, the sound of the letter Eta (uppercase Η, lowercase η) has changed in the thousands of years of Athena’s reach. This is why she has been Athena, Athene. I have to look more into this because I also saw her name spelled with an Alpha at the end, which corresponds to our modern Athena.
This dress turned out wrong, attempted a tied look on the waist, but the skirt should be pleated and fall at her sides.
Now that I have shown you my defective work, I will have to finish it. I have a second page where I stopped. It has a shield and another dress that also made me feel I had done a poor job.
Ancient Greek fashion
The ancient Greeks didn’t have sewing machines. They used fabrics and tied them into dresses.
Even in Rome, dresses called Stolas in Latin (the equivalent of togas for males) were very large tied fabrics.
This week we woke up our kids very early and took to the darkness outside looking for the comet A3. We saw it, too. It was an amazing sight even though it only lasted a few seconds and we all saw it (except for the two toddlers).
Lilli and Vivi wrote journal entries about it. Lilli, a perfect memory with 0 errors or need for improvement. Vivi in gorgeous letters. She needs to work on the legibility of her writing, but she has chosen incredibly beautiful decorated letters, which I love and I told her, I will have to copy some of her incredible letters.
My focus will be on practicing with Vivi so she can improve the legibility of her writing while keeping her wonderful letter design. I enjoyed her work so much and I was full of pride.
Lilli researched and taught us what a comet as well as a, meteor shower is, wrote this in her journal.
Both Lilli and Vivi drew the comet.
Home Education Log: Learning activities with our kids
This is not an entire list.
We discussed our ancestry, DNA, DNA tests related to ancestry, neanderthal DNA in humans in research, history of our families which interested and intrigued our oldest kid.
We did Halloween inspired art and crafts.
Alex drew a ghost and many more cool drawings. He was inspired by documentaries and videos we watched on the history of Halloween.
We watched documentaries about the history of Halloween, kids stories, and more on this topic.
I finished a Halloween paper doll: I love fashion illustration and I incorporate it into our art activities.
This lovely fashion witch was designed in 2014. Back then my illustration skills were beginner level, but the dress designs were gorgeous. With my new skills, I drew a new doll and copied the same exact dresses, added the witch hat and broom.
We found old art of mine and discussed my art progress at which point I took advantage and gave a speech about improving one’s skill. I allowed the kids to see my bad beginner art that I am ashamed to show today and explained how I learned to draw figures by watching experts and used that fuel to inspire them by assuring them they too will be much better in their art.
I helped the kids finish Math worksheets they did not finish during their week.
We studied the Celts, specially regarding our own Celtic roots.
Lilli and I did Math: skip counting, addition, multiplication, and division.
Vivi and I worked on addition.
The kids have been sick, so we have not been to Jiu-jitsu class. They have been playing in the yard and “working in the garden”.
The kids read children’s books.
Lizzie and I wrote a poem together (she created the story) and she did the ending in prose using many words that start with g. Then she wrote the poem by hand. Her intention was to improve her handwriting of the letter g and she succeeded, her g was beautiful after such practice. She will be choosing her next letter to work on and we will repeat this exercise.
Lilli started the new Duolingo Music course.
Lilli returned to her Duolingo Spanish course.
I created children’s songs inspired by Lilli. Lilli created pictures to go with the song. I added AI music to the songs. We sung and sung and danced.
Lizzie decided to write a song. She created a story and we will be working on turning it into a song.
Lilli, Lizzie, Vivi worked on Math, Science, Grammar, Art on Outschool.

I wore red pants and a red long sleeve shirt, heart socks, a pink, delicate crocheted scarf I made, and a maroon jacket. I wanted to explain why wearing red on Valentine’s is great beyond the obvious.
