Every Monday for the next five weeks, the boys are in a California History class. The first session covered California geography and topography, and a little bit on Native Californians.
Lecture time..
Gluing items onto a California map…
Each table had a cake and the boys got to decorate it. The green gumdrops represent the Redwood Forest, the blue sugar and Swedish Fish = the Pacific Ocean, the purple Nerds candy are the Napa Valley vineyards, the Hershey kisses are Mt. Shasta and Mt. Whitney. The brown sugar is Nevada and the desert, the green coconut is the Central Valley, the black licorice are oil wells, the red licorice is the Golden Gate Bridge, the orange gumdrops are the Orange groves, and the sugar cubes represent missions. It’s a given they enjoyed eating their masterpiece!
The teachers are teaching the kids a song about California history using hats. ‘R’ was chosen to wear the sombrero that represents the Mexican influence. ‘R’ was cute. When the instructor introduces him, he did a little dance…
A little dress up…yup yup…
