School Update

 

We have started counting down the weeks until we are done with school!

Only 6 to go!!!

Last week we learned about Eli Whitney and the cotton gin.

Here is Henry trying to pick seeds out of cotton, not so easy. . .

 

 

Good thing Ben made a cotton gin replica out of a

cardboard box, a paper towel tube and toothpicks. 

 

We have been working on our timeline for 3 years. 

It starts at Creation and goes through Napoleon (for now).

This semester, Peter has been teaching Science.  He has 2 days to prepare his topic. 

It can be about just about anything!

Last week he taught about the ear.

The week before was about how the blood works in the neck of a giraffe when he bends down.



 

One day he said he was going to talk about Christians and dating.

I was wondering what that had to do with science and what in the world he was going to share about the dating world! 

Turns out he meant "creation dating" and the age of the earth!!  :)

 

And our little Angel is doing ballet.

 

The day after her first class, she woke up saying, "I just can't stop thinking about the steps!"
