SOCIAL STUDIES:
Delaware Indians:
This week we’re learning about the Delaware Native Americans.
The boys worked on a Delaware Native American wordsearch (woodlandindian.edu) while I read aloud.
Eating Like Pilgrims:
Last week we explored pumpkins and baked them down. This week I decided to use some of out pumpkin puree to make a pot of pumpkin soup.
I decided to pair Pumpkin Soup: A Picture Book
We bought our ingredients and were ready to cook! We even bought a loaf of Sperlonga, our favorite rustic Italian bread!
Bub had fun sautéing the vegetables. This autumnal dish made the whole house smell AMAZING!
We chose not to puree it, but served it rustic with grilled cheese on the side. It was delicious! Great job, Bub!

Parker and I read Amelia Bedelia’s First Apple Pie
Finally, I made it over the weekend. Can I just tell you how amazing the house smelled while it baked? Can I tell you how delicious it was? The crust is buttery and flakey. The filling is magical. It truly is the BEST apple pie! Buy the book, bake the pie! You’ll thank me later!
