Last Friday, our local homeschool group sponsored “Around the World Night”. This was the first year we participated. We chose Madagascar for our country. Actually my husband picked it because it was unusual and had interesting animals to study. We used pictures from Enchanted Learning for a Ring-tailed lemur and a chameleon. We found a …
This morning when I peeked out the boys’ window to check on our bird, she was gone and so were the eggs. I’m not sure when she left. I don’t remember for sure if I checked on her yesterday, but I know she was there on Saturday. It has been raining all day so I …
I was so excited Monday morning when I heard a flapping outside my boy’s window. I opened the shade to see… Here is the male bring more nesting material. Home sweet home. Then Monday night. Here is Mama Tuesday. On Wednesday evening, I got a peek in the nest and there are …
We took our first trip to the Creation Museum on Thursday. We had been looking forward to it since we heard they were building it. It was not a disappointment. The museum was very well done. The exhibits were beautiful. It was wonderful to visit a place that is dedicated to refuting evolution. They presented so …

We completed the World War I lapbook from Hands of a Child on Friday. I appreciated having their resource guide. I basically used their guide to teach the material. We listened to Story of the World, watched Sergeant York, and read a few supplementary books as well. This was the first HOAC lapbook that we …
I started the penguin lapbook from Lapbook Lessons a couple of months ago with my K son. We did most of the books that we were going to use and then I put them in my big folder and forget to make them into a lapbook. I’m sure that never happens to anyone else 😉 Last week, …
I survived my week and of course it wasn’t nearly as bad as I feared it would be. My son tied for 3rd in our local homeschool group spelling bee. I was so happy for him. He says he wants to try again next year. I think he’ll be inspired to study harder. I obtained …
We’ve learned about sound this week and today we went over resonance. I can’t hear the word resonance without thinking of resonance frequencies and this famous bridge collapse. I figured surely it was on youtube and sure enough, it was easy to find. It is amazing to watch. For some reason, I can’t …
