We are loving the snow! Even though we are having school. It's worked out great. We are doing a study on snow for sciene and I figured we wouldn't get to do the snow experiments. (Lack of snow in MD) But between last week and today we got to do them. Today we took black paper, that we had kept in the freezer, outside and caught snowflakes on it. Then we looked at the flakes with our magnifying lens and they were awesome. You could see the hexagonal shapes, they looked like fancy cutout snowflakes. The girls really enjoyed that. Oh and last week we did a Blizzard in a Bottle. They loved that too. They made their own snow and colored snow. They are still talking about that one.
I finally got my new curriculm and have been looking through it all. It is kinda overwhelming, but I do like it. I think we will wait to Sept. to start it. We have started reading The Bridge to Terabithia and will be watching the movie. We finished James and the Giant Peach and got to watch it on tape. The girls were disappointed that the movie left out the cloud men. But it is interesting to read the books and then see how they make it a movie. We are going to the Franklin Institute at the end of this month to see the King Tut exhibit. My parents are taking us, my dad loves all the egypt stuff and history. We can't wait. We are beginning the story of Joseph and will be reading about Moses soon. Also in history we are going to do a study on Egypt, so this will fit right in. I haven't got to do my freezer cooking yet. My husband is remodeling my laundry room and there is just too much mess and chaos in the house right now. I don't funtion well when everything is a mess, so for sanity reasons I will have to put it off for a while. But it has inspired me to clean out my bookshelves in the schoolroom. I have listed 19 items on e-bay. So far a have sold six, but the auctions haven't ended yet. I'll try to load some pictures soon, especially when the room is complete! Seeking Him, Missy |
