What's out there in space???

We've started learning about space. There's so much to cover, so its going to take a few weeks. The past two weeks, we've learned about stars, comets, meteors, craters, asteroids, and the moon. We also learned about Neil Armstrong. I wanted to show some of the projects we did.

This first one is when we were learning about constellations. I took a cereal box and let the girls poke holes in it. When they were finished, we put a flashlight in the box and went to a dark room and viola!, you have your own constellation.

Also when learning about craters, we did got out some flour and dropped a ball in it. We had our own crater!

Then we also did the Moon phases. They loved this one, which I got from pinterest.com. They got to enjoy the Oreo cookies afterwards.

These are their pictures that they drew of Neil Armstrong on the moon.

I decided to do solar bracelets this time!

Behavior Chart

I found a behavior chart image online that I really liked because it detailed, but I couldn't find a website to print one. So I made my own. I did this in photoshop and if you would like to print one for yourself you can here . After I printed it, I hung it in a picture frame and can use dry erase markers to check off.

Where's the line to see Jesus?

My eight year old has discovered the truth about Santa. "He's not REAL!" is what she keeps arguing with my six year old. This morning, Ashlyn, my youngest and I were up all alone in the house and she came to sit on my lap and just flat out asked me, "Is he real, Mommy?" We didn't want to force this question from her, because we've wanted to let her have her childhood and pretend. Well, when she came up and asked it - I had no choice to tell her the truth. And this is what I told her... "His name was Nicholas, and we call him St. Nicholas, because saint means someone who belongs to God, just like we do. In St. Nicholas' town there were many poor children. They didn't have enough food, clothes, or toys. St. Nicholas used his money to buy food, clothes, and toys for the poor children. He didn't want them to be embarrassed by his gifts, so he gave secretly." "St. Nicholas also told everyone about Jesus and how much God loved
