TOG Year 4 Week 26

This week we studied Johnson's idea of a Great Society.  Once again, I was a bit unhappy about the resources that we were assigned to read in that there were several facts about the Civil Rights legislation of the 1950s and 1960s that were missing in the books we read.  I spent some time looking for some alternate sources, but did not find many that were at the proper reading level. So I tried to just connect a few dots in our discussion time and decided that the next time we go through this year plan we can read more then.

Princess M - PreTOGger
Nothing much to report with this little one.  She had her best friend over for a few hours this morning for a play day.  Her sister's choir concert was today so her mom asked me if she could drop her off.  They had great fun playing with our Fischer Price Little People sets.  We have all the pieces from when I was a kid that my mom saved, as well as some of the more more modern sets.  When they get them all out they fill up the family room.
