Snowball fight!
We worked on a dinosaur math unit and had lots of fun measuring with yards, feet, and inches. We did some estimating and then double checking to see how close we were! Did you know it took 7 of us lying head to toe to make the height of the Brachiosaurus?
These are all the people in our Friday class that wanted to be in the photo. I posted several (one is goofy on purpose). We've been eating lunch in the courtyard while the weather is nice.
Below photos are on our first day (Friday). We learned about the Armor of God. I brought some props and we played a bit while we were getting acquainted. The sword looks real, but is a prop sword and not at all sharp. (They were closely supervised...)
Some hat day fun...
Friday art class--we have been focused on learning to draw perspective. Today was our first landscape drawing--a fence with treeline behind it.
This week we talked about Abe Lincoln and the log cabin he lived in as a child. So we tried to stack log cabins out of pretzels. We examined some Lincoln Logs and learned that the notches are an important part of stability for a log cabin. (We also realized why these toys are called Lincoln Logs.)
Log Cabin Projects--There were more, but these were the shared photos.
We went for a walk and brought back items to describe with adjectives.
Some finished clapboard projects, covered wagons and a student reads a report. One log cabin was more like a tipi, can you tell which one?
Tasting party--we tasted various [gluten-free] options representing things Abe might have sold in his General Store. In some cases, we tried to guess what we were tasting [sugar, salt, baking soda].
