Pawpaw Holler Home

Good mornin’ all!

We had a busy weekend up here in the holler: repairing flood damage to our roads, Association business, house cleaning, and computer cleaning.

We also had a mini-lesson on Mount Rushmore. We used our good old encyclopedia to start out our lesson and incorporated math and geography into it by; mapping the distance from our house to Mount Rushmore, figuring the best route and what states we would pass through.

Here are some free online resources and links about Mount Rushmore:
