My show and tell blessing

Posted in Tags

We have so much fun doing our Show and Tell with Canadagirl. If you would like to join the fun instead of watching it, you can go over to Canadagirl's blog and add your name to Mr Linky after you post something you want to share with us.

My show and Tell this week is about unexpected blessings. This week was filled with them. My favorites will be in this post.

It all started when the charter school that rented space from my FIL announced that after five years they were leaving and merging with another Charter school at their location. This month they moved out. These pictures are of the things they threw away.

Yes that means this was all free! Let's start with the full sized 3-D skeleton that is now proudly hanging in the office.

This is two full sets of geological specimens. The first rock set is of 32 and has a listing of what they are. The only one missing is a pumice stone. Since we almost live at the foot of an active volcano this should not be hard to replace, oh wait, I use one of those to clean the toilet, problem solved! The second set has over 100 rocks but no listing. We will be doing a lot of classifying (unless you have a list...If you have a list, would you e-mail me a copy?)

This is my favorite find! TWO beautiful Microscopes one with a camera attachment. The only thing missing in the full kit is a scalpel and a butterly card. That's all that is missing! The full set of slides is also missing one (1) slide.

I guess they figure the state will just use my tax money and replace them instead of carrying them to the new building. Or maybe the new building has too many already. Either way, God blessed my socks off!

Now my daughter also was blessed tremendously. While she was in the Christian Bookstore talking to the Sues, a woman came in to sell her Homeschool curriculum to them. The Sues didn't even have a chance to put them in the back room before Heatherlee snatched them up.

Do you know what this is??? A full set plus the supplement for older kids set of Beautiful feet History! And a few other books like A Reason for Science and Rod and Staff Books. About 400.00 worth of curricula and she spent...are you ready.... 30.00! Yep she almost stole it!

Now this is the History material I had been finding in the backroom over the summer I spent about 10.00. So when we blend the two together. School is going to be so much fun this year!

Now in the midst of all of these amazing books in the lower left corner are two unit studies for Middle school aged students (or even High Scool if you have missed this area). Vol. 1 Of This Far By Faith and Vol 2 This Far by Faith are created by With A Taste of Chocolate to expand our understanding of American History by including all Americans, of all ethic backgrounds in light of God's world. This is so much better that the typical "European" mindset of American History. And the Time line is so extensive. There are exerpts at www.BlessedHeritage.com. Check in to them, you won't be disappointed. And yes EVERYONE needs a complete view of American History because no matter where they came from or how they got here WE ARE ALL AMERICANS, Eurpoean, African, South American , Middle eastern or Asian....Americans all!

Oh I am so ready to get to school. Once Tirzah's labs are done next week, off we go! Please remember to keep her in prayer.
