Science and Trying Something New

Jaia has been working on Biology this year for science and we’re just wrapping up her section on Animal Classification. For our “wrap it up project” she did a lap book.  Have you ever seen these? This was our first exposure and I have to say – they are pretty neat! All your information in a neat, tidy package!

In the lapbook are small sections – What are the 5 vertebra classes ? for example. Arthropod, bird, or annelid characteristics.

For each different class, Jaia had to look up examples and add them to her information.  It is a fairly straight forward lapbook, with basic information – she is only 9 after all.

Next in science – plants!

While Jaia was busy working on her lapbook, I started another project. Embroidery. I have never embroidered before! and I wanted something I can do while sitting down with the girls during school hours.

I’m keeping this book on hand for stitch reference . There are some pretty neat and complicated stitches in here! My goal – try to do each and every one of them. Maybe not MASTER them, but I can certainly try them can’t I?

Work in progress – While Jaia is having her swimming lesson. I think I’m going to enjoy this!

Bright Blessings! and Happy May Day!
