Today is one of the classes we enrolled in. The kids are taking a live class titled "Thanksgiving Fun: Colonial Days and Pilgrims". Their teacher sent some great links and project ideas early on in preparation for the class. She had quite a list :)
Our family has done a lot with that time period so, we also had some great resources on hand. Mainly we used our Homeschool Woods: Time Travelers Colonial Life CD for the resources. With the Thanksgiving holiday fast approaching the timing couldn't be better. So for one whole month we have have put aside our RC History trek in Rome to spend some time in Colonial America.
I'm going to post our progress as we go along here on the blog and take any of you on a little time travel adventure. It'll hopefully be a blast with the comforts of all 2010 can offer too.
Part of what we did was spend time in the kitchen
Rose is setting up the apples to string and dry them later. She's done this before and was really happy about doing it again. In fact she nagged made this suggestion at least once a day:)
She made me awfully nervous while she cut her slices. I ended up taking over.
Tada....

and her cornucopia
There were lots of other projects and we'll spend a whole month in this time period. I bet I'll have some pictures to share.
