Isabelle


The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 as an entrance arch to the World's Fair! It is the second tallest structure in France. It is the most visited paid monument in the world. The Eiffel Tower is 324 meters tall. The Eiffel Tower has three levels for visitors. The walk to the first level is over 300 steps. There are also 300 steps between the first and second levels. The third level is accessible only by elevator. Both first and second levels have restaurants.


This was Isabelle's last paper that she wrote for school this year. We looked up information on the Internet together, and she did five steps: planning, writing, revising, proofreading and publishing.

Our Classroom





We've been enjoying our extended back porch for school. It is hard to concentrate sometimes, though!

Palm Sunday





On Palm Sunday, we had a small impromptu play at Sunday Night Life. Becky Harvey read the story from the Bible while the kids acted it out. Joe Harvey was in the play as the donkey. The kids really enjoyed themselves!

St. Patrick's Day


We've had sick kids for the last week and a half, so I decided not to try to do a St. Patrick's Day Party. We did manage to have a little fun, though. :)

Animal Party


After Isabelle had a princess party, Caleb decided he wanted to have an animal party. I kept putting him off until we had a chance to get some animal crackers.
All of the homeschool kids- plus a few others- came to enjoy playing, watching a movie, having a snack, and doing a craft.
As an extra special treat, Becky brought some animal masks. Even the kids enjoyed those.

Back Online Again

Our online time in January turned out to only be a couple of days. Now we are back online, hopefully for longer!
