Stonhenge and Pumpkins






















Today we all got a slow start... We put out our Pinwheels for Peace and the girls worked on an essay about peace. Then we started lessons. I don't hav any pictures of Renee today as she was doing mainly book work. However today EB had loads of interesting things to do! In Mystery of History she learned about Stonhenge in England and we talked about it and made a replica of the standing stones. We couldn't use monoliths as there aren't all that many here in Suffolk :) So we used popsicle sticks in lieu of monoliths. Also, as it is Fall we dedicated our story time to "Five Little Pumpkins". EB loves that poem! We did a coloring flip book of the poem and a flannel board craft. I think we will be pulling it out quite a bit this Fall.
