Wednesday

This afternoon we worked on our 4th of July lapbooks again. We added several little items. Read the first lines of the Declaration of Independence, read from our book, and outlined the 13 colonies on our Map as well as the states of Virginia and Massachusetts. In our lapbooks we recorded the elements that make fireworks their different colors. Natalie finished her copywork. We counted 13 stripes and 50 Stars on the American Flag. We sang "God Bless America" and worked on our memory verse. We also colored Missouri blue on a little map and the rest of the states Red. We wrote the word Missouri.

Time for today: 2 hours

We did finish our lapbooks and our story this week. I got a little carried away and forgot to record our time. I would say that we spent another 2 hours or more on this lapbook before it was finished. And our firework show on the 4th really rounded out our study.
Time 2.5 hours.
