United States--Ohio and Oklahoma

Ohio is home to the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame.  We visited their website and saw a few of their exhibits.  Unfortunately the kids didn't know any of the musicians displayed--I've failed in that area, I guess.  Then they got out the musical instruments and made up a song.  So someday when they are featured in the museum  you can say you "knew them when." 

 

An interesting fact about Oklahoma: there are more languages spoken there than in all of Europe.  This is because Oklahoma is home to at least 55 Indian nations each with their own language/dialect.  Oklahoma also has so much oil underground that people have discovered it in their back yards.  After watching the beginning of Beverly Hillbillies, we did an art project using "black gold".  Using crayons we colored a design on construction paper.  Then painted oil over the picture with a cotton ball.  We let it dry for awhile and the oil soaked into the paper making what was supposed to be a stained glass look.  It mostly looked like shiny paper.
