This was also the week of our AWANA Grand Prix, Molly earned a 1st place for design, she and her dad made this line truck like the one daddy uses at work sometimes
Molly's 4H speech contest, she did a reading of prose - she chose Junie B Jones and did a great job reading an exert from the book about Junie loosing a tooth. She's a cloverbud so she can only earn participation ribbons.

Here Molly is gluing cotton seeds to here cotton, then we rolled them up so that the next day she could pretend to pick cotton and remove the seeds
Here she spent forever picking the seeds out. Then we learned about Eli Whitney and his invention of the cotton gin. We also read a book about him and learned about his inventing mass production and his life story.
on her summary sheet for Eli Whitney she decided she would glue her cotton on to it.
Here's Molly's weather vane, we never actually took it outside to actually test it out, but Molly blew on it to see it work
I added a little more map work for each state so we would remember where each state is located better - I have her out line it and highlight it on a cheap wall map($ spot at target) and then add to our large us puzzle and then add each state to a magnet map I found at St Vincents.
Study the state of Kentucky we read about the Cournal Sanders and so we made a tip to our local KFC
