William Shakespeare was born April 23, 1564.  We will be studying his life and works for our homeschooling lessons as part of our Renaissance Unit Studies.

We will be linking here for part of our learning  http://www.folger.edu/Content/Teach-and-Learn/Shakespeare-for-Kids/

And taking a virtual tour of Stratford Upon Avon  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D57ji9MnM2U

And we will be printing notebooking pages from  http://www.homeschoolshare.com/shakespeare_notebook_pages.php

And playing some of these online puzzles and games for fun  http://www.folger.edu/education/sfk_kids/

For the younger boys, Wishbone Shakespaw   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MsSMBrkHWI&list=PLA95D27DD44814AB9

Of course, we will bake a cake, because studying anyone on their birthday is better with cake!
