Giving Thanks....

We had our home school Thanksgiving last week.


The kids did a great job cooking all the food.
Take a look at Dylan's bread .......
We read stories about the Pilgrims and watched a cartoon about William Bradford and the first Thanksgiving. Fun day!!
This turned out to be a great unit study.

I missed a couple weeks.
Instead of catching up, let's just start new. :)

We are getting ready for Thanksgiving.....Home School Style.


For the past few weeks we have been learning about the Colonies and the Mayflower. We will wrap it up next Tues. when we will have our own celebration and feast. This is my favorite part of Home Schooling the kids, we (they) will be cooking homemade bread from fresh milled wheat, applesauce from apples picked from the tree's of Pennsylvania (given to us from a friend that just visited there), Pumpkin pie and some more goodies. We have been keeping a Thankful Jar and writing what we are thankful for, we will read these at the table.
Lot's of fun!

week 10

This week finished off our first quarter of school. It was full of parties and fun!

At the beginning of the week we went to a little park to feed the ducks.



Caitlin named every one of them. This one's name is June. She only had one foot and we gave her special attention. :)



Mid week was a stop at the Pumpkin Patch....

By Friday I planned a little class party.


And to top it all off we had our annual Trunk er Treat at church. Our theme was Charlotte's Web.
Here's to another 10 great weeks of school!!!
