Dan the Animal Man

We went to a special presentation at the church next door by Dan the Animal Man. He brought some great animals and shared evidence of a Creator. It was a great service and the kids loved it!

Picturing America

This summer as an "elective" we are going to do the study Picturing America.

I entered to get the curriculum for free and it is amazing! So much more than I expected.

This is the box:
Picturing America

This is what the paintings look like:
Picturing America

There are several heavily laminated prints (front and back) in the kit along with a teacher guide. I've been wanting to study art for a while and this will combine it with American History. Each print is an American treasure. We are going to have fun!
