After a morning of looking at snowflakes through a magnifying glass (science), my girls were in desperate need of some hot chocolaty goodness. This recipe that I had serves 10 so they halved the recipe and boom, we've done math!
We even learned the history of hot chocolate (social studies) !!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_chocolate
After they are all warmed up, they are going to write the word chocolate in five different languages:)
I LOVE UNSCHOOLING!!!
