Leonardo Da Vinci

Tomorrow is art day, and this week we are studying Leonard Da Vinci. DJ is somewhat fascinated by Leonardo Da Vinci, so for the next five weeks I will be posting two videos, in a series of ten, for him, you, and anyone else to watch. They are from the History Channel, and are very good. In his art book there are actually three activities associated with Leonard Da Vinci, so each week he will do one. Tomorrow is also make up day for any work not completed during the week.

We also have the History of Thanksgiving, from the History channel set to record tonight at 7. Be sure to Tivo it, if you want to use it for school. This link was sent to me by Amber. It is 100 books every high schooled child should read, and you can view it here. Thank you, Amber for the list. Below is three recipes for cute, yet simple Thanksgiving treats. Click the image to enlarge, and print the directions. I have been saving these to share, since last year. Let me know if you try any of them, and how simple they are. The little hats look simple enough, for even me. I can not do complicated baking so well.
