This year Nathan (3rd grade) will be studying Zoology 3:  Land Animal of the Sixth Day and the Periodic Table at our homeschool co-op.  It’s shaping up to be a GREAT year with these two very interesting subjects! Here’s the description of the Zoology 3 book from the Apologia Science …

Nathan has no problem falling asleep in the car so this is how we find him after almost every excursion (while on vacation which is when this picture was taken this past winter) or trip to town.

Our co-op put on another MCT play this spring.  This year’s play was Sleeping Beauty in which Nathan was an “angry caterpillar.”  He’s not in the photo below, but I wanted to post a picture of Sleeping Beauty, the King and Queen, and other supporting cast members. I didn’t take …
