We Love History!

We have been studying the times of the tower of babel and the Sumerians. In the book of Mormon it shares a little more information about what happened at the Tower of Babel so we took some time today to add Jared and his brother to our time line!

I found this awesome Pop-up book about the brother of Jared on http://kristalcoles.com/2008/11/29/pop-up-book-tutorial-the-brother-of-jared/

We made our own pictures but used her poem and lay out. (sorry the picture are so bad I have a pretty limited time during nap that I can blog so I decided not to retake the pictures.)

Every day when we finish History Teigen says “Were done… I want to do more!” He has asked that we do History every day instead of three times a week.  The other day after talking about the city-states the Sumerians had Teigen set to work in the front yard making a city state for the ants. He had poor one room houses and big rich houses. He showed me how the grass was the surrounding farms!

We have enjoyed studying plants over the last few weeks! Teigen wanted to do an experiment so we found a plant experiment that was fun for all of us. we bought some white carnations and Daisies and put them in different colored water. our results were a little different than I expected them to be which is always fun to be surprised! 

Emma wanted to help so she dipped that poor flower in and out of water a ba-zillion times. Above is the before picture we did yellow, blue, green, red, and purple.

This one had the best turn out! IT was a carnation in the yellow.

This one we tried to do blue and red but as you can see in the picture, only the blue worked.

 

This was the only daisy to change colors and it took on a slightly green tone after days in the green water. the rest of the Daisies just stayed white.

We love Homeschooling!
