Timeline Tuesday, Farmers Market & More

WOW it's only 12:30 and we have already had school, our craft, watched a movie, went to the Farmers Market and had lunch...I am tired out already....LOL  Today is Tuesday which means two things...Timeline Tuesday (american history) for school AND our town Farmer's Market is on Tuesdays.   A friend of mine and I are trading weeks teaching the boys American History. Today's lesson was John Smith and Pocahontas.   While I taught, the other mom and the girls (her two and my two) watched the Disney Movie, Pocahontas and played.

Some Scholastic Reading... Pocahontas

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
