History Fair


We've been fortunate this year to have found a super fun homeschool group to play with.  It's been especially fun since the organizers (sisters) have been good friends of our family for years, and back in the day we even homeschooled together (as STUDENTS!).  

Last week was our turn to organize an event, and we chose an American history theme.   The kids each brought an American history display and presented it to the group, and then took part in all sorts of fun crafts like feather quill pens, tin punch lanterns, rag dolls, homemade butter and paper quilling.  We had a great time and definitely gained an appreciation for all the work that goes into planning an event for the group!  (phew!) 

Here's some pictures from the day's festivities!
