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.
