Kansas Unit Study

Kansas' Birthday is coming up on January 29th.
It will be 149 years old.
Our homeschooling group is going to have
a show-n-tell day at the end of January.
Each family is to study Kansas this month
and share their finds.
Here are some photos I took today
of the boys and their work.



Joshua





Erik



I tried to tell him he would look better smiling but, no.



Isaac



 

 

The reason he has so many pictures here is that I wanted
to make sure I got a good one of his new glasses!






Seth




 


 The boys have really been enjoying this unit study.  We are covering Kansas Indian tribes.  This week we talked about John Brown and Bleeding Kansas; the Santa Fe Trail; the flag (obviously); the name origin and nicknames; as well as continuing in Bible study and math.  They're really looking forward to getting to the famous wild west characters later on this month.

Of course, being Lindsey Land,
a fighting break seems to be required:




Even our dog Jake had to get in on it.

And, they're at it again right now, as I type!!!
