Now that the girls are in third grade is seems like they have more “hands-on” projects coming up these past few weeks.\u00a0 They had the opportunity to earn extra credit for Social Studies by building a replica of a South Carolina Native American home.\u00a0 They spent a lot of time building their houses, writing out their facts, and presenting their project to the class.\u00a0 Thank goodness for a yard full of saplings, vines, monkey grass, and for Jake who is creative and patient when helping the girls.<\/p>\n

The girls really LOVED the arrow heads (even though they did not come from SC).\u00a0 The arrow heads are actually ones that Jake and his Grandpa Hayes collected when he was a boy.\u00a0 Both girls did well and got a 100% on their extra credit projects.\u00a0 Even though they worked hours on this project they told us it was one of the most fun homework projects they had ever done and would love to do more!\u00a0 Glad they enjoyed it because it was a great way to learn even more about the Native Americans from South Carolina.<\/p>\n
