Fall Leaves

The kids dove right into nature study today (literally!). They played in the leaves for hours. In the bath afterwards, McKenna was identifying the leaves as she pulled them out of her hair. "That one is a sassafras....., etc." It took us at least 30 minutes to get all of the leaves out of their hair!

Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area

Our Co-op went to Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area. This was one of the earliest settlements outside of the original 13 colonies. We participated in a program describing the Fort, period dress, etc. Then the children played a game from the time period and toured the fort. They also got to see a musket fired. Finally, the kids made corn husk dolls.



We went on a field trip to Sycamore Shoals

Panther Football Game

We went to the Carolina Panthers vs. Washington Redskins game on Nov. 11. It was a great game and the Panthers ended up pulling off a win after a stressful game!
