Josh’s last presenation was on the History of Travel by Land. He started out with information on the wagon wheel and moved through history telling about the development of axles, iron rails, and steam engines. He ended his demonstration with information on modern railroads and showed this model train setup.

Nathan’s preschool group studied the letter “P” by making a Prince Hat! Isn’t he handsome? I had fully intended to go all the way back through all of the letters that they have done this year and blog every last single one of them. I have finally given up on …
