Kirsten, an American Girl Class

Our last day of American Girl class.

Part of me really wants to teach it again.

Part of me needs a serious break.

A break it shall be- for now.

              To end our study of Kirsten, we created necklaces in   
         honor of Singing Bird, Kirsten's Indian friend.

                            The girls used wooden, shell and "bone" beads.

                                          They also painted Swedish boxes...

            and played "Puss in the Corner".  You need 5 players. 
        There is a "kitty" in the middle of 4 corners.  In each 
        corner is a child. 
      

                       When "Puss" yells "Change!" everyone tries to find

               a corner- including "Puss", the kitty!  

             Whoever doesn't find a corner is the next kitty.  Super fun!

                   It was really hot, so we came inside and created "quilt
             square" cookies.

                                     
         Sugar cookies were cute into squares and everyone designed 
       three so we could make a quilt cookie!

             Good thing we had a lot of frosting and sprinkles on hand.:)

                   The girls work of art.  It tasted as good as it looked!

                          We finished early, which never happens!  So the 
                    girls had some free time.

                   They decided to play Mystery Date.  The girls were
            quick learners!

                        In the end, Anna won her mystery date!  So fun!

                         The clothes on the table are clean- just outgrown.
                                          Keeping it real.:)
