Poppins Book Nook: Feasts around the world

Welcome back to another month of Poppins Book Nook.  Our theme this month is feasts around the world.  We chose the book:

Pizza for the Queen

by Nancy Castaldo

This is a cute little story about a pizza maker named Raffaele who is making a pizza for Queen Margherita.  As he is trying to get all the best ingredients for the Queen, a cat eats all the anchovies!  (I personally would be okay with that!!)

The pizza comes off with out a hitch and the Queen loves it!

For our activity we were going to make a homemade pizza.  Well, I have battled migraines for over a week and didn't get to it, but we did enjoy a pizza from somewhere else!

Mystery of History Volume 3 Lessons 58-60

Lesson 58  The Thirty Years War

For this lesson, we brought out the legos!  The 30 Year Was started when 3 people were tossed out of a 50 foot high window in Prague.  The only way they survived (by the grace of God) was a pile of manure.

First, we measure off 50 inches.

 Tossed from 50 inches with no protection.

Then, he dropped his 3 lego men from that point.  They fell to their death!

Tossed from 50 inches with protection.

Then, he let them fall into the manure, symbolized by our pillow!!  They lived!!

Of course, this is what happens when the 2 year old wants to play with the legos that are being used in a history lesson!!
