One of the assignments for Goosey in TOG for the week was to create something from France since they are learning about Napoleon so she decided to make a model of the Eiffel Tower out of paper mache. She first created a base with marker, cardboard, and toliet paper tubes and then covered it in paper mache and then spray painted the tower.
We are on week 2 of TOG and are starting to get into the swing of things! We have been watching John Adams the mini series which has been very interesting! I would recommend it to older kids as there are a few graphic scenes of surgery and tarring which we all gladly agreed to fast forward past (a little too much information displayed there). Speedy has been enjoying it and Goosey has lost interest in it so she has been watching it on and off while doing something else.

Rosey started CC this week and is back into the school routine! She was excited to see her friends from there and also to meet her new teacher for Challenge 1! She is excited to start her Shakespeare project from there! For Geography we "travelled" to Germany via Map Travelers to finish up where we left off in the spring. We sampled many different chocolate treats from there-yum!! Then we went to Italy! Goosey made a model of the colosseum with some left over building bricks we had. We are going to attempt to make Gelato tomorrow-yum! :o)
