Barn loft and coop


How fun to play in the barn loft with friends!

Scott, Claire and Jonah. I think Jonah ate 14 toasted marshmallows!?!?



We had another fun coop today. We studied the Pacific states and the Southwestern states. In my group, Claire's group we learned about the desert and planted a succulent plant in a clear pot that they filled with layers of sand. Sand art and plants combined. Our plant was an aloe vera so hopefully this craft will even be useful!
We also talked about how the Grand Canyon shows convincing evidence of a catastrophic flood.
Creation scientists think the great canyon can be explained far better with a biblical worldview than with the evolutionary viewpoint which leaves many questions unanswered.
After lunch, we recreated an earthquake by shifting plates under a pan of dirt and watching the fault line open up into a huge crack and then used jello to simulate the rolling of the earth that actually sends buildings crumbling.
After that , we went outside and had logging games. The log toss, log roll and pull the log contest.
We also measured with chalk the circumference of a giant sequoia and even measured the height of one. Some of them are almost 300 ft. tall!
