Oreo Phases of the Moon
Not long after joining Pinterest, I saw this post about using Oreos to make moon phases. School that uses Oreos? I'm in. It just so happened that we were doing a unit study on Space using our Sonlight science curriculum plus the Evan-Moor Scienceworks book. Instead of the paper plate, we used a worksheet from the Evan-Moor book that already had the phases on it. Later we cut it out and made the moon phase wheel like we were supposed to. We all had fun with the Oreos, especially the eating part.

Things that are Red



Gabby's first book was on Creation. I haven't taken pics of that one yet but I will. Sam watched her do it and said he wanted a red one. So we made a red one. I found a things that are red worksheet, printed it, he colored it, and we cut those things out. That's what he glued down inside the book. Then we went through the sticker bin and pulled out all the things that were red and he put the stickers in there. I cut the letters for the front on the Cricut and glued them down. That was the only part I really did for him. Now they both want to make one about blue. For the record, red is Sam's favorite color and blue is Gabby's.

Painting on the Ceiling
We have been studying Creation - starting at the beginning - in Bible. To go along with that, we have been talking about the Sistine Chapel ceiling paintings and Michelangelo. Last week, Gabby tried painting on the ceiling herself. Not having some scaffolding handy, we brought the ceiling down to her and taped the paper to a short table.
