Getting ready for school

I am working to get us a little bit more organized before school starts.

These totes hold all our extra school stuff that we are not using at the moment but will soon.

It took me a lot of trial and error to figure out the binder clip to hold my tag!

I thought I was a genius after I figured it out.

I also thought my husband could have been a little more excited about my new labels…

Why would he not want to spend 10mins. talking about labels?

I probably buy too many kits and games.

I cannot say no to them!!!

I made my own bingo number game!!!

Stickers on one side and tally marks on the other side.

I am starting to get a little excited about the upcoming school year!

I just hope that excitement can last until next summer…

These books came in the mail the other day!

I am really happy with them.

Dry Bones and Other Fossils is about fossils from a Christian point of view.

I cannot wait to use the aquarium guide at our local aquarium!

It list’s facts about the animals with information on why they point to a creator.

This book has two of my older sister’s names in it.

It is old and falling apart.

I love it.

On a whim (the place from which all good things come) I got the book “How to Build a Rocket” by Hazel Richardson from our local library.

I love it!

It is not just about how to build a rocket, it has a lot of information about the moon and experiments to go along with the lessons.

I am seriously considering buying this one.

The first thing it had us do was go in a dark room with a flashlight and a tennis ball (or baseball).

You have your child hold the ball out in front of them and shine the light on the ball.

This helps them understand why there are different phases of the moon.

It also helped mine remember that the moon was just reflecting light from the sun.

“He’s got the whole moon in his hands, he’s got the whole moon in his hands…”

I am odd.

Next we took a ball and string and then spun around while holding it.

This demonstrated the earth’s gravitational pull and it’s effect on the moon.

School is just so much work.

Watch out here comes the moon!

We are only a couple chapters in.

This book definitely gets my vote though!
