Weeks 29, 30, and 31

Here are a few highlights from our week...

Art

The kiddos did an awesome job on their Greek coins. I was so proud of them and their creativity. We looked up lots of pictures of owls, they each chose their favorite, and set out to make their coins. No complaints at all on this activity :-D

Bible
The amount of kings who 'did what was evil' in God's sight compared to the kings who followed God is very disheartening. All the miracles God used to try and get their attention, the prophets He sent to warn the kings and the people...and they still chose to worship other man-made gods :(


History
So many wars and rising and declining world powers....it is hard to keep up with it all :-o


Science

We are glad to be done with Genesis for Kids. Quite honestly, the last several weeks to months have just not been very exciting or interesting. We were glad to begin Archimedes and the Door of Science, but we are a bit bummed with just reading though. We are starting to miss our science experiments. It has been interesting though. The kids find Archimedes quite comical and cooky.  

We have a ton of experiments and activities lined up for the summer though, so the kids have had fun deciding what to do and pick out. So far on the list is: making our own chewing gum, making our own chapstick and tinted lip balm (my son's choice was sour pickle scented), and making our own lotion bars...manly scents for the boys, of course...lol!

Dance and band have both ended for the summer. Here are a few highlights :)
