Bees In Flight
As I was downloading the pictures from my camera the other day, I found this one taken by my son. He never mentioned taking it. I was amazed at what he was able to capture and asked how he did it. He told me that he had seen the bees flying at each other and thought it was cool. So he got the camera, lay down on the driveway and zoomed in. He took 3 … Continue reading

This book is more than a good read. It employs a ‘hands-on’ method of helping the … Continue reading
Our Classroom
Here are a few pictures of our classroom and the kids diligently working. I have put our black board on the back of the door and that is what they are looking at. They are back to back to each other. Both are set up similarly. These are inexpensive computer desks with out the keyboard shelves attached. They each have a file cabinet beside the desk that stores their notebooks and books. They also have … Continue reading
