The Planetarium
Our first home school field trip with our local PEC group was so much fun. My dear Mom watched the youngest children so I could go with our six year old alone. It was such a joy. All I could think of as I heard his cries of wonder and enjoyment was, “This is why I am homeschooling! This could of been experienced by some teacher fresh out of college. She would of barely noticed because her class room is too crowded and she isn’t making enough money to live here and my little treasure would of been lost in the cracks.” It was a very fufilling day.
I also connected with another home school Mom who is using AO for her daughters YRS1 and 4 so I am thankful to find a local resource to bounce things off of.
Here is Jackson with the figures of the Astronauts. I think it is so sweet how he is holding the big ones hand.
This is the device that projected the images on the planetarium’s dome. They were beautiful and Jackson was mesmerized.
He could of stayed all day at the science games.
He asked if this was the name of some Pharaoh out of a book we read a few weeks ago. It took me a minute to remember who he was talking about. I said “No, just a small child sized mummy.” We wondered who it was and how their life could of been.
All in all it was wonderful. Go explore something new in your community this week. It is a BLAST!
