Teacups in the Garden

• Jul. 26, 2008 - Y1U1 Fieldtrips

I didn't expect to do many field trips that relate to Y1U1, since we don't live in the Middle East or Egypt! lol But we did manage to get out to see some cool stuff!

The IMAX was showingMystery of the Nile which was really interesting. There are also teacher materials and a DVD to purchase.

The museum has an interesting exhibit on mummies. We saw lots of cool stuff that we had studied, as well as how modern technology is used to identify mummies.

See if your local area is hosting The Tabernacle Experience. I have heard that there has been one in my state, but we have never been able to go to it. This looks pretty interesting!

About Me

Gardens thrill my soul. My senses awaken, my soul is refreshed, my mood calms down...and if given time for quiet ponder, I've enjoyed the sound of buzzing bees while collecting pollen, the delightful croak of shy Mr. Toad, the exuberant flutter a hummingbird near my face thanking me for scrumptious flowers, and the gentle touch of the butterfly who settles on my shoulder. I've been known to walk into the house with my hair showered in lavender crepe myrtle blossoms and my clothes covered in blue plumbago blooms. Picture a rustic wrought iron bistro set with floral cushions and gingham pillows under a crepe myrtle dripping in blooms. I've set out some tea. Come and sit with me while I catch you up on the latest of the happenings in my family. Welcome to my garden.
