Pretzel Project

 We finished up our schoolwork today and are ready to start our long winter break!

Elliot is working on borrowing/carrying in math and doing well.  He likes

problem solving and generally just enjoys math and also being quizzed

with vocabulary words.  We weren't thrilled with Ethan's math program,
so we're gonna give Teaching Textbooks a go, which we're very excited about.
Today we finished our study on Native Americans ~ we snacked on dried turkey
and fruits and talked about the arrowheads that the boys each picked out at the
museum last week.  We built "thatched-roof log cabins" for our project,
which we finally completed.  The boys LOVED working on this particular craft,
mostly for the fact that they could eat the supplies. :)

 

Craft found here ~  
(we used a stiff mixture of powder sugar, meringue powder
and water instead of peanut butter, which worked great
and we also used half-gallon cartons instead of the small size)

 Our finished project!

 

Tonight the boys are having their best buddies over for a sleepover

and tomorrow is the start of our Thanksgiving preparations!
