November Calendar -Turkey Time

I thought I would post some pics of the calendar I made for November . It's about 2 1/2 ft tall . I made the body from posterboard and the feathers I made in Printshop . I used my daughter's camera to take these but it's like there wasn't a lot of good lighting in the hall .I couldn't get the whole thing in the pic , our hallway is very narrow and I couldn't get far enough away from it . Our day marker was made from a graphic in Printshop . I thought it was so cute .

We finished our study on Jamestown yesterday . We had fun with it . We made the mini Jamestown that we found free at Homeschool In The Woods . We made our lapbooks out of cardstock that we taped together to form the spine so that we can fold them and they fit into our page protectors in our notebooks . We used templates from Homeschool Helper in our lapbooks . They have lots of good ones and of course they are free .We also played this game , Jamestown Adventure , and printed our results to put in our notebooks . The kids really enjoyed it . They kept playing it after school :) We took them to the Winterfest Celebration last night . Perfect weather for it because it was freezing ! We were all so cold that we left to get something to eat but we came back and watched the lights being turned on and the fireworks . Of course we watched from the comfort of our warm vehichle :) For all you Veggie Tales fans out there , (come on ...who doesn't love a talking cucumber ? GO LARRY !), Big Ideas is releasing a new movie The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything  . It looks like it will be real funny . Well folks I guess thats all for now . Have a great day !
