Homeschool Highlights


This was a busy week in our Homeschool! On Monday, Emily and I went to Riley's Apple Farm to see what life was like in the Colonies back in the 1700's. We have been studying American History and this was a perfect way to see "hands on" what life was like in that time.


We learned how to weave




how to press cider


how to make a candle



how to eat a carmel apple

how to churn butter










and we learned manners , quill pen writing and played a few games that would have been popular in that era. All of the employees were dressed in period costume and spoke with accents. We enjoyed a freshly baked Chicken Pop Pie afterwards. What a trip back in time!
