We had our Chinese food to go with our study of China for lunch today - "Chicken Chow Mein", It is amazing how filling a plate of that is.... of course we had to have fortune cookies too : )
I think it is these little added touches that are making our school day more enjoyable.
I wanted to ask you all if any one can suggest a good World War I book? We are starting it and the books I have gotten so far are way to hard to follow (even for me). The suggested reading books are: "World War I" by Tom McGowen & "The Yanks Are Coming" by Albert Marrin, my library has neither one of these so I have to order them with inter library loan program which will cost me $4.00 dollars ($2.00 for every book you order even if they can't find it for you...). They need the money before they can order, I wasn't going to order them but since the choices of books for World War I are so slim I guess I will.
Today is the first day of Autumn! Have a great day : )

We are doing same thing on China! I think our dinner will be on Sunday or Monday. We just did the orgami thing--the girls made little hats and houses for the baby chickens... Later this year we will be doing Russia, as a highschool friend is a missionary there. Once his kids are moved back to Russia we will also have some Russian Penpals.
Have you looked at The Story of US by Joy Hakim?
Yikes! I really am not trying to make you jealous, but we can ILL for free! Maybe it's because we're part of a large library system? Anyway, we have never studied WWI, so I can't help you there.
