Creation Study ~Day 4 Sun, Moon & Stars

finishedsolarcar trying finishedcarSince we had already studied the properties of light on Day 1, we just made a couple solar powered projects for Day 4.

We read:

“Going around the Sun Some Planetary Fun” by Marianne Collins Berkes

and

“Eight Great Planets” by Laura Purdie Salas

Both are rhyming books and would be great for young children!
We watched The Magic School Bus “Lost in Space”.
My boys have seen all of these before but they seem to get more out of them when we watch them while learning about something in the video.

It is a great visual tool!

It would also be a great time to go to a planetarium!

I also included a few peeks into our other schoolwork.

Hope you have a great week!

Stephanie’s Family

Stephanie’s two youngest get on here often, and even her oldest made an appearance recently but family pictures seem to just fall through the cracks!

We worked at fixing that by doing a family session in the beautiful morning light. We were doing it in the morning so that it would not be too hot and of course had a cold front come through for the session.

It still worked out to get the morning coolness and beautiful light though. I am glad I made myself get out of bed!

Dancing with daddy.

Lots of smiles.

They were doing hand puppets on my reflector. I have never thought of that before.

Love her little hand behind her back.

Love.

I love how he makes her smile.

Watching turtles.

I had a great time playing in the light.

Such an awesome family.
