Thanksgiving and Random Autumn 2015

This school year we have learned a lot about early American History, and Native American history was also included. So for Thanksgiving we thought it would be appropriate to skip the Pilgrim hats and make vests (using our imaginations for the leather and bead-work of course).

They have enjoyed a lot of hands on projects this year and it's fun to see how much they retain when there is a tangible item to cement the history in their minds. Weaving, homemade ink and quill writing, wigwams, teepees, Jamestown dioramas, hasty pudding hard tack and yeast risen bread. The cement so far for this year!
