It's Saturday and we're still doing school! After reading a couple of books about the sun, we decided to make our own sun dials.

Classical Conversations

We have joined a group called Classical Conversations which encourages learning by the classical process of grammar, dialectic and rhetoric. We are learning the peaks of the timeline of the world, American History, American Geography, basic English grammar, Latin, skip counting math, science experiments through the Scientific Method, art and music on Wednesday mornings. Hannah loves it and even does the individual presentations that they are asked to do each week.

Advertising

Hannah has asked about how advertising works and has tried her hand at it in different ways. This time, her Sunday School class is taking on a service project. They are collecting new or gently used pillowcases to be made into dresses. The organization is "Dress A Girl Around the World." Today, she got to stand up with her Sunday School teacher as they announced the project to the Women's Tuesday morning Bible study using her poster.

Mono prints

For our Park Academy summer birthday cards, we made sand dollar mono prints.
