Jericho and the inner ear
How's that for a vague title - LOL.
In today's Bible lesson, Katie and I read the story about Rahab and the spies.
Katie did an art project in which she 'made' the walls of Jericho.
We made 'mortar' out of shaving foam and glue -
and then she hung a red rope in the window...just like Rahab.
(And Annabelle made one, too. Her project was more or less a 'sensory experience' though.  )
Julie learned about the parts of the inner ear, and how they work, in her science this week.
We used the MFW resource "The Body Book" to make a paper model of the inner ear.
 
I am also giving praises to God for leading me back to Rod and Staff science for Joseph.
It has been such a blessing! He is no longer stressed about having to keep up with Julie, and I think he enjoys the subject matter a lot more, too.
I'm not as stressed either - because MFW discusses 'the birds and the bees' in a few weeks,
and while I think it is time to have that talk with Julie...
I'm not quite so sure Joseph is ready for it yet.
This way....I'll be able to spend more time on that delicate subject with my pre-teen daughter,
while Joseph can stick to topics like earthworms, astronomy and magnets.
It brings such joy to my heart when I find that right fit.

The first birds and bees talk is always the hardest. They're a breeze after that. (Well not a breeze, but it does get easier.) The older Baby Boy gets, the more detailed our talks. *SIGH* Motherhood.
