FIAR Co-op ~ Daniel’s Duck
I am so behind in blogging all of our FIAR adventures (and our delight-directed studies such as Insects and Tigers…maybe I can get those posted soon!). Here are a few pictures of our Daniel’s Duck co-op. We met at a local park, and we toured a REAL log cabin!
We are going to follow up this co-op with a little County Fair in June! In the mean time, all of the kids are busy making some homemade wares to sell.
I didn’t have pictures with me at our Grandfather’s Journey co-op, but you can check out my friend, Jodi’s blog, to see what wonderful surprise awaited our students!
Spectacular Maple Seed Show
Last night Elijah and I went for a walk. We were throwing handfuls of maple seeds in the air (something that delights both of my children). Watching his face light up gave me an idea. A big idea for a little boy. I told Elijah we should come back with a bucket and collect as many seeds as possible. So, today, we did that. Once we had the bucket stuffed, we launched the seeds into the air. My children were dazzled.
Have fun as you explore God’s great big world with your children,
Dinosaur Dig
This week (and next) we are learning all about dinosaurs. Elijah spent over five hours digging out these bones! He is convinced that he will be a paleontologist.
