Long Weekend and New Video

We took advantage of the long weekend and did not learn much about the Revoultionary War...

Some things we did do:
*Went to dance class--C. has learned a lot of the dance for this year. It is fast moving so confusing in parts. The recital is May 31st. We are off so everyone will be able to attend!
*M. had is Spanish lesson. He is learning a lot but it is definitely something we need to practice more!
*C. had 2 play dates with friends she does not get to hang out with too often. She really enjoyed that!
*M. went to Cub Scouts and worked on his Pine Wood Derby car.
*C. worked on a girl scout badge for childcare.

All in all a busy weekend! We keep wondering wear our dad is. He went to a HUGE FIRE in Hershey at about 4pm yesterday afternoon and is still there! Guess it was a big one to put out. Dad must be tired!

But the good news is we are on are off-duty time so dad will have two days to recover!

Today...back to the American Revolution. We watched our history channel video to set the stage for this week. We will be focusing on Bunker Hill--where although they Americans lost--they caused huge number of causalities to the British Army. We also learned about the Continental Congress that appointed George Washington in charge. And finally about George Washington's first victory--securing Boston for the Patriots again.

We are excited to learn even more this week about these events!
