In between Christmas and New Year's Day we took one day to finish up Wee Gillis from Five in a Row.  We learned about Scotland and listened to a great bagpipe demonstration from YouTube.  We have a bagpipe band where we live and I wanted to go see them but it just didn't happen.  It is starting to snow and snow and snow.  I am not motivated to try sliding down our driveway right now (I go only if I have to).  Today we talked about the difference between wool (like they wear in Scotland), cotton and synthetic fibers.  We also learned where Scotland is on the world map.  We did more but those are the highlights of our Scotland study.  With Christmas we kind of did a bare bones study but I hope some learning was still accomplished.
