School Time!

School has begun again for Janelle & Madeline. It promises to be an action-packed year
studying Biology & Early American History.

Here they are constructing a model of the triangular Jamestown Fort which was surrounded
by water on three sides.

Now they are safe inside their fort.....preparing to starve to death if it weren't for the bounty
of food supplies Pocahontas regularly brought to the fort.

We enjoyed our own feast of foods Pocahontas might have brought...corn, squash, nuts, etc.

The next day we took a Science field trip to a dentist office.
(Studying the 5 senses, focusing on taste, teeth & the tongue).

The girlies had casts made of their teeth...




Follwed by lots of education about the teeth and mapping out tasting areas on their tongues.

(Showing off their teeth molds).

  2. Dang...Biology and Early American History huh? Guess I'm out for being a sub teacher this year. These were never my best subjects. Call me when you move on to other subjects like European History or Shoe Shopping...Those I can teach.
