We FINALLY wrapped up our WW1 study in history and have moved on to the roaring 20’s and the jazz age. I am far more excited about this study than the kids but that isn’t unusual since they have no idea what awesome plans I have in store for them!
I introduced the kids to the new dance craves of the 20’s- the Charleston and the Lindy, thank you YouTube you never let me down! Then we watched the marvelous “Shipwreck” and his craze of flag pole sitting. The channel I found the flag pole sitting video also had other decade’s fads and crazes, I know I’ll be using it again.
We read this sweet book, Ella’s Big Chance: A Jazz Age Cinderella By Shirley Hughes. Ella was Cinderella in the 20s jazz era. The kids loved it and loved making the comparisons to the familiar story. There was even a little twist at the end from the Disney version.
To wrap up the study we watched Princess and The Frog and snacked on beignets. 
Recipe: Canned pizza dough, vegetable oil, powdered sugar
Cut the rolled out pizza dough in small 1-2 inch squares and place in 1-2 inches of hot oil. Flip often because they will brown quickly. Place on a paper towel covered plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar while still hot.
They are best when hot and even better with a little honey drizzled.
We really enjoyed the 20’s and it was a fun upbeat study before the study of the Great Depression which I am finding much harder to plan and not bring down the mood.
