We had a great start to our school year this month, and the rest of the month just got better! The girls also started weekly art and dance/tumbling classes that they've really enjoyed.
Here are a few of the highlights of some of the things we studied this month. (Due to their philosophy that fun snacks/lunches=fun school, I tried to incorporate an edible component to a lot of our learning. The girls were big fans!)
We studied creation and then made edible masterpieces by painting something God made on pieces of bread.

| Who knew toast could be such a fun snack?! |
We learned a lot about constellations!
We had an almost fail art project remaking our own crayons.
 |
| See that "FOR WATER ONLY" note on the side?? I didn't! These cute little trays I just had to have from IKEA began to melt along with the crayons. :( |
 |
| They weren't perfect, but they girls like them. Definitely not a project we'll do again. |
We had a field trip to the World of Coke Museum (which really deserves its own post!) and to the Georgia Aquarium.
We did a lot of dividing large groups into sub groups (which is building a foundation for what we're learning in grammar this year). I'm pretty sure their favorites were the plants (trees, grass, and flowers) and shapes (circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles) group activities.
