Fun Facts

I started having the girls do a book report about 2 weeks ago.  The girls each looked up facts on the Internet and then we wrote them down and drew pictures or found more pictures on the Internet.

Belle did facts about fairies...and drew pictures at the top of each page...
 Cover...(Made from flower leaves)...
Fairies are widely known as the magical little people who are beautiful, charming, and clever...
While they do enjoy pranks and riddles there are tales of some faeries who are not as generous and good natured
Many fairies have wings and are known to fly about through the woods at particular times of the day.
In Celtic legends, the fairies are depicted as very mischievous and loving.
Almost every culture has its tales of fairies, elves and other magic creatures.


McKenzey made a poster and wrote her facts about pirates and then went and got pictures of pirate stuff off the Internet....
Blackbeard's peg leg was a medical necessity, he lost his leg to diabetes but all the other pirates got wooden legs as a fashion choice.
The combination to Davy Jones' Locker was right 32, left 17, right 26.
The golden age of pirates was 1764-1856, but there are still pirates today.
Gilbert and Sullivan were the two most dangerous pirates to ever live. Born conjoined twins, they were finally blown apart during a vicious sea battle with a British Major General when an errant cannonball struck their shared hip.
While it was perfectly fine to use an enemies skull as a goblet, it was considered rude to use their entire vivisected head as a puppet. Especially if you mocked them by making their own head talk in a high-pitched voice.

Once we finished are reports us the girls decided to do a shop.. I thought they could work on giving out change....Mac did a flower and stuff toy and Tea shop.  Belle did a pet shop, pet wash shop and beer and cupcake shop.  They played shop till lunch or so...

After lunch we went and played tennis I am hoping we can do that in the morning too - will see.
