We have had a fun week of learning at the Stukas household!
The boys studied Astronomy this year using Apologia's Exploring Creation Through Astronomy.
Brock & Brant enjoyed the book and the experiments we did throughout the year. We made volcanoes erupt, constellations appear on the wall, built Lego models of the International Space Center and ended the year with a trip to NASA Space Center Houston! The boys also made notebooks but they will tell you that wasn't what they enjoyed most. Next year I am going to purchase the notebooks published by Apologia, maybe they will like that better. Here are a few pictures of our trip yesterday. |

We also went to the library by our house for the first time. They have a great children's section. The boys each picked out a book on dinosaurs and then I picked out some books on Lewis and Clark. Lewis & Clark started their Journey on May 14th and that is the day we started our two week history lesson on their adventure. Allie, Lilly and I went to the preschool story time. Allie listened to a few books and then made a craft. She really enjoyed it! I wish I would have taken a picture of the lantern she made :( I did however get a picture of the kids before we read Bread and Jam for Frances. Allie loves this series and since Saturday was Lillian Hoban's birthday we rented this book from the library. Lillian Hoban is
