We have also been reading books on Paul Revere and I even brought out the good ole' school house rock video! For Paul Revere, I thought we could make some tin can lanterns as our project. Throughout the years, I have come across them on websites and in books and I always wanted to give them a try but we never did, so this time since my kids are older, we decided to give it a go! Goosey made hers by punching holes with a nail in a tin can (you need to freeze ice in the can the night before which makes it easier to punch the holes through). Then when she was done, she put a candle in the inside.
We begun week 30 this past week and have started to cover events leading up to the Revolutionary War. I have added a lot of extras for these next 7 weeks of TOG. This week was learning more about Ben Franklin. We have been watching a really neat documentary about him, a PBS DVD titled Benjamin Franklin. It has a wonderful website connected to it as well...Ben Franklin. In the documentary, sentences and phrases were quoted from Ben Franklin's autobiography which tied in really well to what Speedy is reading for the week.
