Little Treasure Hunters looked at a replica of the Declaration of Independence and examined the tiny cursive writing and signatures.
They then listened to the ENTIRE declaration as illustrated in Sam Fink’s book: The Declaration of Independence. . .The words that made America! The kids loved the humorous illustrations depicting each phrase despite lots of wordiness!
These little guys milled blueberries to make blue ink and put together straws and feathers for a pen. They practiced writing their names with ink like the founding fathers did.
Regular music making ensued, as we practiced rhythms and songs for the Christmas presentation.
