We invited some friends to kick off the school year with a field trip to the Old State House Museum and the Historic Arkansas Museum.
First, we spent some time learning about Missisippian Culture pottery in Arkansas, especially effigy/head pots.
Then we practiced making our own.
We enjoyed our own tour guide who seemed to know everything about the building and early Arkansas history.
After a picnic lunch on the beautiful grounds, we walked a few blocks to take a guided tour of the Historic Arkansas Museum.
Our guide said we were the best behaved homeschool group he's ever led (of course, he probably says that to every group!), and he allowed us to go into rooms that are normally off limits since we had a small group.
What a beautiful way to begin our 19th year of school at home!
