Time Line & Paper Dolls

I've been very busy these last few weeks...preparing for the upcoming school year. We've add to our school curricululm 'The Mystery of History'. This history curriculum has a 'timeline' activity in which you cut out historical people both biblical and secular and add them to your time line.

New Pics Posted

So I've added new pics to my photos and am starting a new photo album...it's still in the making because it's our Father's day lapbook. On 'My Page' I've add a photo slide of the girls as they were working on the lapbook. We had to stop because dad came home. I also found a Father' Day Treat Bag that I've decided we'll use instead of the 'Survival Kit'...the 'treat bag' is much cuter. And finally I'm thinking about buying a wooden h… Continue
