After we were done with our start of the day activities, I read the kids some books about Pilgrims, and their journey to the New World. Afterward, Grant did some reading and we started working on our craft for the week, which was making name cards for Thanksgiving dinner.
On Tuesday, Grant practiced jump-roping while touching the ground, jumping on one foot, and clapping while jumping. After that and our penny whistle lesson, I read the kids this book:
It was very interesting to see how different their lives were then. They had a lot more chores! They also had a book about a day in the life of a pilgrim boy, but I was unable to get one. Maybe for next year.... After I read the book, we talked about the book, and Grant said it seemed "pretty boring." It must be because there were no video games, Nerf guns, Lego's or movies.
Once I was done reading the book, Grant copied a Thanksgiving verse.
When he finished with that, we did some more work on our name cards.
Julia go bored working on the name cards, and went over and played with Lucia, and got her all "tucked in".
Grant really enjoyed doing the string game on Wednesday. He was able to complete the Jacob's Ladder design. We will work on that again next week, until he has it down really well before we move onto the next design.

After making Jacob's ladder, you can make a witch's hat:
Grant thought that was pretty cool, too.
I also read the kids the following book, and we finished up our name cards for the big dinner.
We also finished filling out the leaves for our thankful tree, and this is how it looked on Thanksgiving:
