Have You Walked in MY Shoes?

We are using Amy Pak's Holidays Activity Pak to celebrate one American holiday each month. We are "taking that day off from school" and calling it a PROJECT DAY.

Monday is Martin Luther King Jr day and we have a little bit of reading then we'll do our timeline project.

Tonight we played "Walk in My Shoes" game. Everyone puts a pair of shoes in a bag and each person gets to choose a bag. Then the person has to walk in whatever shoes they get! It was hilarious because dad picked Sarah's on the first round! We discussed (briefly) what it meant to walk in someone else's shoes. Fun activity!

PROJECT DAYS

I really am excited to try Amy Pak's "History of the Holiday" Activity Pak from HomeschoolintheWoods.com

There's pretty much one main American holiday per month. So in honor of each holiday, we'll take that day off from school and do a special project relating to the holiday (ssssssh, we're still learning!)

Next year, I'd like to use Heart of Wisdom's "Guide to Biblical Holidays" and study the Jewish festivals and feasts. I understand this book is an exceptional resource.
