Projects

We love to do projects. My son is a very hands on learner. He loves to create and build. If it were up to him, that's all we would do, but sometimes there is not enough time in the day.  I'll be slowly adding photos.




2007: Wow, I can't believe how small my boy is in this picture. They grow up too fast. This was a fun house we lived in. It had a perfect room that we turned into a homeschool room. We had fun decorating the walls with our projects. As you can see, this is when they were learning about Photosynthesis.



 2008: Tapestry of Grace end of unit presentation day - Creation to Israelites in the wilderness.

The kids presenting a diorama they made.


Little Shrimp explaining his salt dough map to Daddy.






2009: Presentation day again! The children presented what they had learned about ancient Greece. They made speeches, showed off projects, and performed a play they had created. It was so much fun.





Shrimp created a satellite out of objects around the house.




2010: Posie making a clay adobe house with our sweet friend we homeschooled for 2 years.




Making a salt dough map of Italy.



The girls decided to use the guinea pigs for a science fair project. They wanted to see if you can potty train a female or a male guinea pig easier? This took quite a bit of time, patience, and work for the girls. The girls took them out several times a day to practice. It actually worked. The male was easier and he actually used the home made litter box every time. Fun experiment!


Shrimp decided to do a fun science fair project called Exploding Soda. Imagine that! A boy wanting to make things explode. I won't tell you the results. Try it out for yourself to see which soda has the biggest explosion.



2011: Posie's Starry Night painting


The kids did this salt dough map of Europe. After finishing their maps, they use it to show us major mountain ranges, rivers, oceans, seas, and countries. These maps really help my children.


The 3 of us made this when studying the Medieval Ages. We took cardboard, tape, and a little string and had some fun.


We each made one of these Russian toy birds when studying Russia for the Geography Fair. They were much harder to make than we thought they would be. We made them from clay and then painted them. We got the idea from this website: http://www.thecraftycrow.net/2010/03/crafts-around-the-world-russia.html. This website gave detailed instructions on how to make the birds.


For the Geography Fair, Shrimp made this Russian Church out of Legos and construction paper.



Sugar Cookie Periodic Table  (2014)



This was a project Posie accomplished all on her own from the Apologia Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics book. Fun visual project!
