Fall Fun

Quick! Before it's been a month since my last post, I'd better write something!

Yes, we had a lovely "fall break" the week of my last post in September, but since then we've been hitting the books. I wish I stopped more to snap pictures along the way, but here are some shots of a few of the things we've been up to:

A pirate map Kyle made (soaked in tea leaves) to go along with his Blackthorn Winter literature unit

a fun Atelier Art lesson on mixing color shades and drawing clowns

Oh, the fun you can have with a big bag of cups from Sam's!

Bethany teaching a weekly tots gymnastics class (if you listen closely you can almost hear them saying "Ribbit!!!")

Kyle and his buddies doing an "excavation" at their small science co-op. (Notice they've gridded off their space, are using brushes, and are labeling their specimens. Very official.)

Bethany and her best friend at the laser tag field trip. They got to play laser tag and also had a class about lasers. Fun!

At our state fair, in the Food and Fiber building, making sculptures out of food. Kyle's "punk potato."

After they made their "food people" they added them to a display of many others that were made that day. They turned out cute!

Yes, we've had our noses in our books, but as you can see we're having a "fair" amount of fun along the way as well. I hope you are, too!

Happy Fall, y'all!
