Silly Times in Science
October 20, 2011
Sometimes when I read lessons to the kids I make up funny voices… today I was a drill sergeant…
We are studying the bones in our Health/Science book “The Young Explorers Series Exploring Creation with the Human Body and Physiology”.
I shouted the question, ” What is the difference between the first seven ribs and the last five ribs, RODENTS!”
(I was calling them maggots but “Corporal”Austin reminded me that the maggot is an invertebrate so the lesson would not apply, so I changed it to rodents)…
Gators! Martin Dies Jr. State Park
“Gators!” Martin Dies Jr. State Park
October 1, 2011
It was a packed house for the “Gators” class at Martin Dies Jr. State Park. A boy scout troop was there which is not the “norm.”
I had Austin sit by Anna to guard her from being bumped with her broke arm and Adam sat beside him. The place was so packed Stewart and I decided to stand at the back of the room to take pictures.
Once everyone got situated in the now “to small” building, Ms. Katherine began.
She asked for volunteers to help out with a skit. My kids being as shy as they are did not volunteer but Ms. Katherine called Adam, so he timidly went up, looking at me for reassurance. I give him a nod and a smile and he was fine.

Astronomy
September 25-27, 2011
We were studying about “Astronomy” in science and so that took us out to the “Long Bridge” with our telescope in tow to see what we could see!
We set up the telescope and started to look around at the brightest stars.
End of Summer Hike
End of Summer Hike
September 24, 2011
This has been such a hot summer that with the 107* weather we have been cooped up inside under the air for too long. It was time to “GET OUT!” It is almost the end of summer and the weather cooled a bit so I was anxious to get on a hiking trail. The easiest one to go on was the little one at Boykin Springs. We have been here several times but it never seems to get old. Always something new to see. The wonderful thing about nature is it changes constantly.
The rocked spillway is mostly dry from the drought, we walk across the stone bridge without fear of getting wet .
Gourds of the Spirit
Gourds of the Spirit
September 17, 2011
I wanted do a craft with the kids that would make a harvest wreath for Feast of Tabernacles (Lev 23:34-43). I also wanted to label it with the fruits of the spirit (Gal. 5:22-23) The only “harvest” items they had at Dollar Tree was gourds, now I know that anything containing seeds within it’s self is considered a fruit so I decided they would work just fine!
We started with a vine wreath base ribbon, the gourds, and some fabric fall leaves of various colors.
Oh Happy Daze
