Mr. Mustard Seed + I kept one top secret surprise while we were on our trip. Those of you who know us best know that our surprise keeping skills aren't all that stellar. But, we actually pulled this one off! (You can high five us later.) After a week at the ocean and a few days in Chattanooga, we made a stop at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. For two boys who've been completely space-obsessed for MONTHS- this was a dream. come. true! They were so surprised and so super excited. The museum itself was huge- so much to see, and lots of interactive stuff too. It was definitely worth visiting! Mr. Mustard Seed + I even received free entry to a bunch of other museums in the US. (Score!) One tiny tip of advice: eat before you go! The cafe was wicked expensive, and I just couldn't justify spending that kind of cash. I turned into a bit of a hangry alien toward the end. :) Ha. They were trying to copy the astronaut's expression. ;) Night Owl's idea for future science: a money tree. Mr. Sunshine's idea for future science: a home on the moon. Memories = love.
Thanks for taking a peek at our adventure. It was a BLAST! Hopefully someday you can visit Huntsville's Space Center, too.

The "big" cabinet! This is kept in my bedroom, and is filled with all of my "teaching" resources. (Resource books, our curriculum: Heart of Dakota, science, art, math, social studies... it's all in there!) Two of the spaces are reserved for some of my art supplies. (And the small storage spaces on the sides are also my art supplies.) I will share specific information on our "Heart of Dakota" curriculum in the near future. Stay tuned! These are our "learning bins." Each space will be devoted to a certain subject. I still need to make the labels. I'm quite excited about this! I definitely think it will help me stay organized. We'll be using the white board to practice the date as well as memorize our Bible verses. The boy's "mini" work table. (and artsy bulletin boards) So thankful for our big dining room! This shelf holds pencils, colored pencils, scissors, glue, stickers... as well as books, coloring books, stencils and learning bins. The "Quiet Corner" in their bedroom... bean bags, stuffed animals, photo albums, globe, clocks, quiet bins and puzzles. Lil Mr. A's bulletin board above his bed. Lil Mr. B's self-made bulletin board by his bed.
