{Nature Study & Nature Journaling}
This was such a fun afternoon. We learned a lot about broadleaf and conifer trees/leaves and collected lots of samples along the trail. One thing we forgot, however, was bug spray. Needless to say, all of the mosquitoes in a fifty mile radius had a great lunch...but it was worth all the itching and scratching!
Isaiah has really started to love Alfred, Lord Tennyson...who new??? He's even made the background screen on his iPod a picture of him :) He decided to try his hand at poetry a couple of weeks ago and was pretty proud of his work--it was a proud moment for mom, too!
The picture I have up in the schoolroom of Alfred, Lord Tennyson and the same picture Isaiah put on his iPod :)
September 23-27 was International Homeschool Spirit Week! Monday was pajama day and the boys were so excited to stay cozy all day :)
A little school work in the PJ's...
We'll be learning about Africa the entire year in our Bible/History/Geography lessons and on this day we were learning about the African country of Morocco! The Butter Man is a great living book we read about a Moroccan family that makes it through a season of drought. And we couldn't go through the day without a little Moroccan food, so we made some yummy couscous for lunch :)
Hungry Planet is a really neat book we use with some of our Bible/History/Geography lessons. We used it for the first time this week to take a look at the Ahmed family from Cairo, Egypt--what their grocery lists looks like, what they eat, how they live, etc...It was interesting for the boys to see how another culture lives and what they eat. They really enjoyed looking at a picture that showed all of the food the Ahmed's buy at the market for the week and identifying what we eat that's the same :)
We're looking forward to a few field trips coming up and can't wait to share them with you!
Blessings, sweet friends!
