Nature Walk

We hosted French 2 weeks ago and went on a nature walk / scavenger hunt after lunch. Here are a few snapshots from the nature reserve...

Sweet Bryce

All of the boys, especially Lyam and Cooper, were very busy rearranging these branches.

Phoenician Bread and Glass

Last week, we studied the Ancient Phoenicians in history. Here are some photos that I failed to post. Incidentally, the bread was made on the same day we watched Bama win the national championship. The individual breads were a great part of our game day spread.

Preschool, Plagues, and Feet

Caleb has enjoyed using his new numbers workbook.
 After reading our history lesson on the Ten Plagues, we read the account from Scripture. The boys added (and removed) the appropriate plagues throughout the reading.
Cooper places the "Nile turned to blood."

Noah and Caleb added frogs. 

Cooper uses his feet to measure the hall rug. He then measured in feet using a ruler.
