Cranberry Thanksgiving


This week we are rowing Cranberry Thanksgiving, which centers around Grandmother's Famous Cranberry Bread, wild Mr. Whiskers and snooty Mr. Horace. Looks can be deceiving!
Geography: New England states
Language arts: vocabulary words
Science: cranberries, where do they grow?
Christian Character/Bible study supplement: don't judge a book by it's cover. 1 Samuel 16:7
The kids really want to make the cranberry bread recipe in the book, I'm not crazy about cranberries but the recipe looks easy enough. Maybe we'll make it for home economics on Wednesday.

Yes, we have a new President. Last Wednesday morning when the kids woke up they wanted to know who had won the election, When I told them Obama won, X4 said to me, "Mommie, we have to pray that he will take care of the babies", and that is exactly what we did!
