We are still in the midst of studying the Revolutionary War. This week we tackled Benjamin Franklin and we made kites! This was a project that all ages enjoyed. Our homeschool neighbors are joining in the history fun this year. One of my daughters got creative and added the "key" to the kite! Want to see how to make the kite? I found the tutorial here.
