What We're Working On Today

This morning we worked on some Life Skills - making breakfast and the PROPER way to do the dishes. LOL!   We just finished our Science lesson for today.  We are doing a unit on Fossils using "The Fossil Book: Wonders of Creation Series" by Dr. Gary Parker.  We purchased this set a few years ago and it has been an EXCELLENT Science resource, from a Biblical perspective.   Next week, we are going to make our own fossil dig using chicken bones and plaster of paris.....I can't wait!  Right now we are working on Vocab and Spelling now, then Consumer Math (budgeting).

In History, we will continue learning about The Homestead Act of 1862 and learning about life on the frontier.  A GREAT resource has been PBS' "Frontier House" that was made back in 2000. It's a great reality program that we thoroughly enjoy watching together as a family.  A great way to make learning FUN!

Going to take a break in a few with Kiddo....he's working hard today! WOO HOO!
