History Bluffs


This evening we were reviewing our previous week of Tapestry and introducing the upcoming week.  It's a fun time, with the three girls giggling on the couch in their nightgowns as we preview and review the vocabulary, people, places and events from the given weeks' study.  

 
Typically the girls look up vocabulary words that they don't glean from context, and are well prepared.  This week, however, it was obvious they didn't bother with the dictionary for words that slipped through the contextual cracks.

Unwilling to admit defeat, my history buffs became history bluffs and provided rather unique attempts:   

  • Sanitation: (From Keianna): "Knowing Jesus is Lord".  (She was thinking of salvation, but He does cleanse us too.)
  • Casualties: (From Kendra) "Clothes you wear not on Sundays."
  • Hygiene: (From Kaira): "Um... isn't that a gas?"  (She was thinking of hydrogen)
