To celebrate the anniversary of the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill, each of the kids created a scene using the directions we found at Crayola's website (this is one webpage I will be visiting again and again). I have tried and tried to get pictures of Olivia and Benjamin's projects to download, but Sarah's is the only one that will cooperate right now.
You know us, we also have to celebrate with food. So, we also made our favorite brownie recipe from the SITAG cookbook (by far the best plain-jane brownies I have ever tasted - I wonder if a cup of butter has anything to do with it?), and we added Heath bits from a care package for our gold. Then we could search for "gold" while we enjoyed our brownies!
Some of our favorite books about this subject:
"Gold Fever: Tales from the California Gold Rush" by Rosalyn Schanzer (published by National Geographic)
"By the Great Horn Spoon" by Sid Fleischman
