On a rock I climbed part 1

"So, are we all ready? OK let's go!" said Mr. Allen as we left the church at 6:54. The Pathfinder Club was going rock-climbing and one of those Pathfinders was me!
For four weeks , we Pathfinders had learned all the stuff to know about rock climbing. We had learned dozens of knots, methods and so now it was about to be for real!
On the bus up to North Carolina , we practiced our knots one more time so Miss Carie could check us off for our rock climbing honor. When we finally got there, we began to check our stuff over. Then we slipped some equipment on our backs and headed up the trail. I was hoping the trail would slope slowly, but boy was I mistaken. It went upward fast. The two helmets Miss Carie had placed on my back was driving me crazy. The trail seemed to last forever, but finally we started up some stairs to the top of the rocks.. "OK guys you are now climbing the Great Wall of China." I joked. I was correct, almost. The stairs in China however are steeper and made of rock. Would we ever get there?

Snakes,birds, and grasshoppers, oh my!

Today we went on a nature walk!My mom, sister and I walked down a side road and looked at all the different animals. There were little butterflys with about 1 centimeter wide that were flying around. Tons of grasshoppers were leaping around too.Well I know you are waiting for the snake story. Here it is. I was walking in the side of the trail trying not to get red mud on my shoes. I had just stepped on a piece of "electrical wire" when suddenly the electrical wire moved and made a sound. I turned around to see what had happened. It was a snake!! I said shakily " Uh, mom, I think I just stepped on a snake." She turned and looked at the beady eyed snake, flicking its tongue back and forth. I wasn't scared, just happy that I saw a snake. Mom wouldn't let me keep it or touch it because she was afraid it might be poisonous. When we got home we found that it was a garter snake. Those are not poisonous luckily. Our neighbor, Mr.Bob, then gave us a bird feeder. So far the only birds that have come our bird feeder is the same two finches. Oh well.
This morning I saw the biggest grasshopper ever! It was 3 inches long and could fly!
That is about all the Nature News I have got!

Homeschooling ROCKS! #2

So, we are back! Lets start back at the reasons why homeschooling's fun!
One of my favorite subjects is history! The Mystery of History series has done wonders for me! You can make salt dough maps, dioramas, do quizzes and still learn a lot! A salt dough map is pictured on the right.
Field trips are a really fun way to learn! We have been so many places. It helps if you have joined a homeschool Co-op though. That is where I have done a lot of my field trips. I have been to the Boeing plane museum with my Co-op, and it was awesome! There were tons of planes from different time periods! We also have been to history museums and even a radio station! I hope this has shown you how homeschooling rocks!

Homeschooling ROCKS! #1

Homeschooling is awesome! You have so many more options and things you can do. Here is some ways.
You can do school with your little sister there! Livia and I can do school together even though we are in different age ranges. Also I get to teach her sometimes if mom is busy, and I can play with her!
Mom and I also do fun projects. One of our recent ones is mummifying an apple! Livia and I sometimes though create our own projects, much to mom's dismay. :) Mom also finds me fun games, and movies that help make hard subjects like math fun!
See part 2 of this series!

Moved

We have moved to SC! It was for dads job, and I can't say it is awesome here. I guess though I should enjoy the adventure of it all.

A great song!

This is one of my favorite songs from David Crowder

Peace ,love, and fun?
