A Lifetime of Love

It's hard to believe school is out for Thomas already. We have had a fun year full of great learning experiences. Below are some pictures of learning in action! September: Latta Plantation Homeschool Day Learning the 3 R's (Reading, Writing, & 'Rithmetic) Reading from a McGuffy Reader Learning about clothing styles & medicine from the 1700s on- VERY interesting! October: Riverbanks Zoo   Our science curriculum is broken down into the various days of creation. This year we started with Day 5: the flying creatures. Megabat- this year we learned the difference between a microbat and a megabat. :) November: Carolina Raptor Center  This field trip only enhanced what we were learning about & was probably Thomas' favorite since he has developed a passion for birding thanks to his study in science this year.  We felt a sense of honor & pride seeing our National Bird up close & in person. Red-tail Hawk: our favorite!! ...

We took a mini- field trip this week to get some hands-on experience with some amphibians and reptiles, which Th just learned about in science. Although I do not really like those type of animals, they are a reflection of God's handiwork and part of His creation.   The kids LOVED it!!!   Inside a baby alligator's mouth- plenty of SHARP teeth!! T.G. was in love with all the animals- not scared one bit! Teagan, on the other hand, was content to just sit, eat her candy, and watch from a distance (much like her mother!) =)
