School Happenings

History Dioramas

Lorelei portrayed The Signing of The Declaration of Independence. (The floor is made of balsa wood scraps!)

Makin portrayed John Paul Jones, who is considered to be the father of the American Navy.

Math Practice

Most of the time I just grade and let Mrs. Buman take care of the rest, but this afternoon she needed some extra practice so we practiced on the patio!

Erosion

It is always fun when you can add some hand's-on and visuals to go with what you are reading.

Study Style

Lorelei likes to study with Harry Potter music playing when she can!

Cell Bot

One science assignment was to make a cell model that should show what you used to represent each part of the cell. Makin chose to make a Cell Bot.

History Escape Room (Lewis and Clark Expedition)

They escaped with about 30 seconds left and enjoyed this special assignment! Thankful for some amazing online resources!

Research Paper

Lorelei had an assignment for grammar to research a career and present about it. She enjoyed putting together a slideshow.

Book-Turned-Movie Bonus

We love a chance to see a book turned into a movie and enjoyed watching Holes after Makin read it for reading.

School-After-Travel Look

It's brutal to get back to work after a trip! :)

History - Oregon Trail

Our summer field trip was a great intro to learning about the  Oregon Trail. We enjoyed playing the "vintage" game as well as an assignment where they chose what supplies to take on their wagon.

Antbot

Animal Robotics assignment? Sign this guy up! :) This science project was to choose an animal and gather information about it, and then draw a robotic animal and label each tool or equipment you would use and how it would be useful.

He named his robot Myrmekes after the giant ants in the greek myths. His robot ant would be built for use in mines or other digging.

School Out And About

When the coffee shop is unexpectedly closed...you find some grass...

Spelling while big sis volunteers!

Creative Writing

We take a break from our writing curriculum from Thanksgiving through Christmas and enjoy various creative writing assignments. Here is a favorite from Christmas. The assignment was to come up with a Holiday town/theme park and then draw what they wrote about.
