Back to the Books...What will we learn?

So we started back up with our lessons last week. We started slowly with just Math, reading comprehension and phonics. This week we started with history. We are studying American History and I am so excited because this is something that our entire family enjoys learning about so much.

So Hope and I sit down to begin reading her book Squanto and this is the conversation that occurs after the first page.

She stops, looks at the cover of the book and says:

"Are we going to learn why the Indians dressed so funny and also the Pilgrims?"

Me: "They didn't dress funny."

Hope: "Big hats, puffy pants, tights and tap-dancing shoes. They dressed funny!"

Me: "We'll have to read on and study why?!?!?"

I realized that I couldn't win this one, she had a point. So hopefully we'll learn why they dressed funny and a whole bunch of other interesting facts about the founders of our country and the Natives who were here first. We'll keep you posted!

Blessings to you all!
