This week we have been studying the 13 colonies, the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War. One of the projects included using a "Quill" pen and ink. We used one of our turkey feathers (yep, one of the same ones used in our Indian Costumes.) The ink was strawberry juice mixed with salt and vinegar. Jonathan got to sign his "John Hancock" on a piece of paper! One of the verses in "Yankee Doodle" is "Father and I went down to camp, along with Captain Gooding, and there we saw the men and boys as thick as hasty pudding! " So, we made some hasty pudding (corn mush!) Yum!!! Jonathan and I liked it, although Rachel wasn't such a big fan. Mark ate his up like it was candy. I think the syrup helped... :) Throughout the year we are learning the different names/symbols for Jesus. This week we talked about how He is Living Water. I tried to explain to the children that just like we need water, we need Jesus and His Spirit, daily. Truly He is Living Water!!! We memorized the verse, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink." Mike is now doing Science with the kids. So, to go along with our theme of water, they did some water experiments. Overall, we have had a very enjoyable week!
