What we're learning!

 We are having fun learning about our Founding Fathers! So far we've covered George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and James Madison. We have learned about the Revolutionary War, the Declaration of Independence, and more! Check out these pictures...


 With our friends Odessa and Dexter we made three-cornered hats and colonial wigs and then "signed" the Declaration of Independence after watching a scene from "John Adams."


 They made an elaborate Lincoln Log house and while Caley was playing her eyes lit up and she proclaimed, "I know why they are called Lincoln Logs! Because Abraham Lincoln lived in a log cabin!"
 They also architected a fort from the cushions and still make forts from the blankets almost every day.
