Our school room

Here is where we track the weather, days, and months. I just made this clothespin / string art hanging section - 3 of them throughout the room to hang up all our projects.Our posters for numbers 1-100, addition facts, and our whiteboards. This is the bible table with our memory verses, the 10 commandment "tablets" and our bibles.

His "about me" poster and our family tree. Avery is the trunk and we are all the leaves!
His favorite Diego backpack. We use this for mobile school when we take our lessons to the park or to the zoo.

Our drawing lesson. From the drawing book gramma tere sent a couple years ago...it's great for step by step drawings of all kinds of animals and people. Avery did one of these all by himself, and you can barely tell which one. We are really into dinosaurs - and I just got in a wonderful book that doesn't teach "millions of years ago" for once called What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs? Our theory is that most of them died in the flood of Noah's time, and the ones that got off the ark didn't have enough vegetation to eat so they died out. All the dragon slaying myths that are in every culture suggest that people hunted dinosaurs too, so that was probably one way they went extinct. There are mounds of evidence that show people lived with dinosaurs...how do you think cavemen drew "dragons" if they never saw one?
