Pen And Ink

Today's morning lesson was a very fancy ending to our Colonial America/Revolutionary War block! They both did such a lovely job this entire block, but most especially on this project. Perhaps it was that cursive is the norm for them. Or maybe it was the quill pen.  Regardless of what the reason was, their writing seemed exceptionally beautiful today. xo 

Today's Morning Lesson

Today's morning lesson focused on Paul Revere and his midnight ride. We read Longfellow's Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, watched the Liberty's Kids episode and sang along with Schoolhouse Rock's  "Shot Heard Round the World" and made lanterns!  

At Minuteman National Park

Today's adventure found us at Minuteman National Park! We had only been once before and had been looking forward to the visitor center opening for the season this year so that we could go again. As you may remember, Grace had recently done a block on the American Revolution, and I knew that a trip back to the visitor center to see the presentation that they have would be perfect. We loved it three years ago, and we loved it just as much (or perhaps even more) when we saw it again today! Though the visitor center isn't large we easily spent two hours there. The girls spent lots of time looking at everything and remembering all they had learned during Grace's lesson block. It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! xo
