We have enjoyed our first walk down the American History trail! I didn’t realize that I had so much to learn! Everything we learned about Paul Revere and Benjamin Franklin was pretty much new to me as well! I especially didn’t know all of the things that Benjamin Franklin did! I guess I knew the whole flying a kite in the thunderstorm story…but I didn’t know he created the first library, the first hospital and the first volunteer fire department! The girls learned what an “inventor” was ... Read More about Our week with Paul Revere & Ben Franklin
A Squirrel Unit
I know they can be a nuisance, but we have been fascinated watching these creatures in our backyard…and on top of our bird feeders! So, we decided to learn a bit more about them this next week!

It is easy to use because you can add things or move things without re-doing your entire timeline! I originally got this idea from Linda Faye over at Higher Up and Further In. Here is her entry on their timeline. All I did was use tacks to hang string up on the wall. Then, I use paperclips to hang the individual cards in their place. I just ... Read More about Our Timeline
Daniel’s Duck
This week, the local county fair is coming to our town, so I thought it would be the perfect time to row Daniel’s Duck by Clyde Robert Bulla. This is a FIAR selection about a little boy named Daniel whose feelings get hurt when he hears people laughing at the duck he carved for the county fair. This book takes place in our very own state, Tennessee! So, we will spend a little time learning a little bit more about our own state. We will color the flag, the state bird - mockingbird and the ... Read More about Daniel’s Duck
