So, some of our Tot School happened in Philadelphia. Before our trip, however, we made our own Liberty Bell.
We also made Liberty Bell sugar cookies and read a little about the Liberty Bell, William Penn, Betsy Ross, and Ben Franklin. R can now find Pennsylvania on a map of the United States too.Here are some of our photos from Philadelphia:
R loved the colonial dresses.
C, T, and R in front of Independence Hall.
We especially enjoyed our horse and buggy educational tour of the city. (That's Grandma with us, and we loved sharing this trip with her. It's a great photo of her so I hope she doesn't mind that I'm sharing it with the world.)
The Philadelphia 4th of July parade.
Look at those soldiers!
Here we are in front of the real Liberty Bell.
Philadelphia fireworks. We also got to listen to a free concert by The Roots and Sheryl Crow.
We loved Philadelphia, and we are so blessed to be able to travel to different states as part of our fifty states project! Be sure to head on over to 1+1+1=1 to read about what other tot schoolers are doing.

looks like another great totschool week you have the best weeks! :)
You are so blessed to be able to do that! I hope that someday we can do things like that. Thanks for sharing (and I'll try not to be jealous). :)
no way--talk about some seriously fun learning!! I want to be a part of the superhero and princess family. . .
What a fun HANDS ON learning experience! :-)
So jealous you got to be there on the 4th. I fondly remember my trip to Philly in Junior High. Quite probably one of the many reasons that I'm a history buff now.
How wonderful! Looks like a great trip!
Way to go! Taking school out on the road! That is so awesome!
What a neat field trip! Looks like you all had a great time. :)
I'm so glad it was a great trip for the family. What a blessing that Grandma joined you!
I truly am thankful to live in a great state!
(FYI, If your kids want to keep learning about the Amish, there are lots in Ohio, too, so your study doesn't have to end with PA.)
What fun! I am enjoying your Blog so much!
Wow, what a hands-on learning! I think you should come to CA for your 50 states project too :)
