Appetizer Umbrella's for Geography Fair...

Here at Quarter Acre Academy 

we are finished up with most of our 2016-2017 school year.

Part of our activities included a Geography Fair.

 Our local homeschool group did it's second academic fair this year.

(Last year it was History.)

My oldest daughter chose to do the United States National Parks.

My youngest daughter did Norway.

All the kids did a good job!

A friend of ours was also participating in the fair 

and did her display on the Amazon Rainforest.

We all were bringing snacks, with a lot of them being from the areas being shown on the displays.

The idea for the Amazon Rainforest was little umbrellas on some pepperoni and cheese appetizers.

But the umbrellas couldn't be found at the store...

So, I'm going to show you a quick video on how I made some easy Appetizer Umbrellas.

Supplies needed:

toothpicks

printed paper

2 inch circle punch or dies

tape

What are you doing to finish up the school year with your kids?

Thanks for stopping by to Create with Me!

Beginning a New Year...

of 'homeschool'! We started school today...a day earlier than I was planning, because the girls wanted to!

Our Summer break is usually May and June, so they are typically ready to start again at the end of June...I like starting in July...and with starting early we get to take a good portion of December off. :)

Here are the eager students during the first day...

So willing to work today...

Liz working on Literature/English...

 Amber got to take a short break...

Hopefully they keep up the good attitude the whole year!
