Arts Week, Saturday


Today is our last day for Arts Week. We've had a great time away from the usual school books!

Besides working on unit studies with Thomas and Carrie today, Carrie helped with lunch. We made our own recipe, which is a layer of shredded beef or pork roast in a baking dish with a layer of BBQ sauce, a layer of cheese, and on top, a layer of cornbread batter, which is then baked until the cornbread is done. The kids like this a lot!

Abby and I had fun reading The Thanksgiving Story. We made Snickerdoodles, which I understood were made during colonial times until I consulted foodtimeline.org and learned I was wrong. Oh, well, we had a good time making them and will enjoy having them for lunch tomorrow.

And for our last day of Mirette on the High Wire, we did the science lesson on copper and cleaned some pennies.

Next week: Read Aloud Week, our very favorite school time together!
