Bees

It dawned on me a little while back that I am not documenting our learning processes as I once did. I have been more focused on the family aspect of things, but then we are HOMEschoolers, so that explains that. I have been putting together a little study on bees and we began by reading Parables from Nature by Mrs. Alfred Gatty. We read the section called Law of Authority and Obedience which is about bees. Then I did my research mainly using homeschool share ( I love that place and I am thankful for those who have gone before me and made my way a little easier), gathered what I wanted and presented it to the blessings. They love lapbooks but I do not like them because of the storage of finished lapbooks, I was not in the proper organization mode to put together a notebook this week. (Any hints on lapbook storage?) Lapbook it was and lapbook it will be.  Today I read from this book about bees and we read about the worker bee today.

                     

Here is my stack of papers for them to choose from.

Today they cut out a bee life cycle wheel

and wrote what a worker bee's job is. Blessing #1 wanted to know why they females went out to work!

Did you know that a bee has 5 eyes? 2 compound and 3 simple eyes. They do.

The whole time he was cutting he was talking non-stop!

Thank you for checking in with us today, I am getting a little better at keeping things updated now. Also, please pray as tomorrow morning is court date for sweetheart's traffic citation. We really want it to be dismissed as he should have never been given the ticket in the first place.

 May the Lord find us faithful.
