October Teachings - Wrap Up

October is always an awesome month for teaching. Apples, pumpkins, leaves changing, hikes, coolness fills the air! Great fun!

As October wraps up this weekend, I look back to review what we studied:



Soap Making - kids loved this simple craft.



We learned it's fun to jump in the leaves on a beautiful Fall day!



We learned how to make fresh pressed cider from a wooden mill.



Zachary is finishing up his Renewable Energy project for the Lego Education Challenge.



Apples were fun to learn about!


Some "followers" might know, we study a different state each month in school. October is - Georgia. A friend who lives there sent us a few packages of awesome things that represent her state. We learned SO much! Molly and I made a poster representing with the children learned!



Looking ahead, I am excited to see what our Thanksgiving Month will reveal to us. I pray everyone has a safe and happy end to October!

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.
