We have joined the American Girl club in our home school group this year. Each month we are to read about one of the historical girls and then take turns presenting (a time of crafts, games and snacks) from that time period. As soon as I told the girls we were joining (back in May) Landry asked if we could teach about Kirsten. But when we got the monthly sign-up sheet the only girl that had been picked was, you guessed it Kirsten. We had to learn a lesson about making plans and things not going the way we want. The girls talked it over (Bella didn't care) and decided on Kaya for our month. We are presently reading and preparing for later this month when we will teach about the Nez Perce Indians. For Kirsten's time period, 1854 we had cornbread and Danish cookies. We played pick up sticks and made a spinning color wheel (I cannot remember the name and google isn't much help).
