Daniel Boone Unit Study Part 3

This week for our Daniel Boone Unit Study, we learned about Quakers, how to play marbles and used our hornbooks.
In the picture below, the kids are colouring a picture of a Quaker couple while I read to them a short history about the Quakers. Boone's parents were Quakers.
We are still learning about what children did for fun back then. So, I taught them how to play marbles.



After their game, Rebekah taught Jacob some words using his hornbook. It's actually a very good resource for learning to read.




During my "project" time today, I sewed a fringe on a shirt I had bought for Ben to dress up like Boone. All I did was buy a shirt that was too big, then I cut a 3" strip off all the way around the bottom. Then I cut the fringe into the cut side of that strip. Next I sewed in on where we wanted it along the seem side so that the fringe was hanging down. It turned out pretty good.

    1. Thanks Margarete. All my kids are fighting over the shirt, so I guess I'll have to look for another one.:-)
