The chill in the air and the color of the leaves....

I went back through my photos to see what exactly DID happen to October... and it is clear that we were so busy ENJOYING ourselves that we just didn't stop to record what was happening.  There was a ton of fun.


L made her own (very small) Native American Long House! 



E and A were busy learning about Hatshepsut - the first female Pharoah... they think she was the one who found Moses in the bulrushes and brought him to a life of priviledge.... They made Hatshepsut hats and wore them everyplace! 



The girls also studied the Code of Hammurabi and practiced making their own cuneiform  writing with playdoh "tablets"...


     
   
We had a great time at the Pumpkin Patch, too!  The weather was beautiful! 







Then we made Egyptian Paddle Dolls (they were named Julianne and Emma!)... and L made a horn book!


Finally, we studied Moses and made baskets...


Lest you think all we do is have fun around here (and we try to have fun, believe me!)... we did get some meaningful study in...
So now you know what happened to October!
