“B’s the sound that can be found in
Boston town and Bunker Hill,
and bouncy, bouncy Basketball,
played first in Springfield —
What a thrill!”
B is also for Brown!!
We ended our study of by listening to his
victory speech last night.
Way to go Massachusetts!!
Captain and Rascal read the
book on their own, before we read it all together, and they came and asked me to help them pronounce the name of a lake. I told them to sound it out and then took a look:

Seriously???!!!???
Thank goodness for
YouTube!
This project has been slow going, but it has been so much fun to learn all sorts of fun details about each state as we work our way through the Discover America Books! We better pick up the pace though if we want to finish even half of the states this year… It’s looking like this is going to end up being a two year project for the boys.
Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
Thanks for posting this. I was just wondering how the scrapbooks were going. I've been inspired to start this project with my oldest too!
keeping all these things in mind when the kids get a bit older. 🙂
They are doing such an awesome job!!
Hey Jessica,

We are doing Massachusetts this week too!

The boys say Thanks! :: grin ::
Angela ~ Captain wanted to draw a picture of a boat filled with people watching a whale. We had been studying the Ocean as well for "O" week, and the letter G in M is for Mayflower talked about whale watching in Gloucester.
Hi Again,
I meant to add: Thanks for the link on how to pronounce that lake name. Lil Guhl appreciated it.
