Meet Dorothy from Kansas EVERYONE!
What a WONDERFUL and giving woman.
One of God's favorites, I'm sure.
Here are T, My My and I with Dorothy.
MyMy is holding her buffalo sugar cookie-decorated by Dorothy.
Dorothy invited our home school group to her house today for Kansas Day! HAPPY 148th BIRTHDAY KANSAS!
She taught us ALL KINDS of Kansas Facts. She told stories of her life as a young girl on the farm in Kansas.
Then went to 4 different stations.
We made the state of Kansas with the state flower-sunflower, state bird-Meadowlark and the state animal-Buffalo.
MyMy's favorite part was grinding wheat into flour-the old fashioned way!
We also made butter which we later slathered on our home-made wheat bread!
We decorated sugar cookies Dorothy made in the shapes of sunflowers, buffalos and Kansas. MyMy chowing on her Kansas cookie with sprinkles.
20 kids INVADED Ms. Dorothy's normally quiet territory and she welcomed us all with open arms.
She took the time to minister & teach the next generation about the importance of her heritage and their Kansas heritage.
THANKS DOROTHY for sharing your HOME ON THE RANGE with us!
Another reason I feel SO BLESSED to be able to homeschool my kids!
