What we are up to this week....


We are going to be working on the American Revolution.  This is going to be an ongoing project for the next two months.  There is just so much to learn.  So the kids are going to continue watching Liberty Kids and I am reading the Magic Tree House Revolutionary War Non-fiction guide with them.
