September 14th Benny's Birthday

Our awesome little man celebrated his 6th birthday!!!!!! We had chocolate chip pancakes, made a cake, ate pepperoni pizza, ate cake and ice cream and opened presents. What a wonderful way to celebrate a wonderful person:)

School

Snapshot of our school experience. Benny working on his workbox (just finished his Wedgit creation) and Abby practicing her French body parts:)

Living Inside Out

Every week this summer we made a trip to Providence Baptist Church so that the kids could participate in Living Inside Out -- a musical production. Abby was Lucy, Taylor was Kendall and Ben was a sheep!! The kids did a great job!!

Workbox fun

A great example of the workbox system. Mixing learning and fun into our school day.

Science -- fun after class

A little fun after science class:)

Science -- Our first Physics class

We started our science co-op with a bunch of smiling faces. This year we are using the Noeo Physics book -- we are all very excited. We studied guy wires (they hold up the tall radio towers) and the kids used the same concept with a ruler and string -- they did a great job. They also studied the center of gravity by building towers from blocks (the lower the center of gravity the sturdier the tower).

History -- London Burning

What a great history class -- we burned London (do you think that the kids will remember this one??)!! We reenacted the fire of 1666 where 4/5 of London was burned. Note: firefighter Ben was ready just in case our fire go out of hand:)
