A Desert Scene

In Liam's school (we are using Sonlight 1), one of our science books is an Usbourne book about animals..... which is super cool. Usbourne has also hooked in some geography into it too which is great----multiple subjects, one book.
Anyway, one of the ideas for extra work that Sonlight gives is to do a "scene" based on one of the land areas we've studies the animals in so far---i.e. Jungle, Desert, Plains. We choose Desert. I flipped through some of the old issues of the Your Big Back Yard magazine that Liam gets and found a whole article about the desert and some of the animals who live there. We used that as our main pieces and went to work. The boys had a blast cutting and pasting and making this!

It's so nice when school can be FUN! Thanks, Sonlight for a great idea!

Project 52: Snowmen in July

We had fun making little "snowmen"...

Ah, the thing we come up with to spend a rainy summer afternoon. David had thought the rain was snow and remembered the snow man from last winter and was upset that he couldn't make another, so I quickly came up with a snow man craft!

Project 52: finger painting

So, for a school assignment yesterday, Liam did some finger painting. I haven't indulged the boys in such art very often because of how messy it is. But he seemed to enjoy it!
