Dino Day IV
EMany of the boys adopted the philosophy of the bigger the better and took as many huge heavy bones they could find. This is Ethan with a boar's skull.
Most of the students loved Dino Day. Pamela and Claire had a ball until they realized that no, Mrs. G. was not kidding, they were real bones. They couldn't believe that they had touched real bones!
Many thanks to Mrs. G.'s Uncle Ollie for picking up the bones as he drove on our family ranch and mailing them to Virginia!

Dino Day II
We had fun making new creatures from the dino bones. Luke B. and Caleb M. even put the entire spine back together.
Dino Day
We discussed Genesis 1 today in Classical Conversations. On the sixth day God created all living things that walked on the earth, including Dinosaurs. We then went on our own dino bone hunt in the back of the church.
After finding many large bones in church yard, the children drew pictures of what they thought the creatures looked like. After their drawings were complete Mrs. G. showed them a National Geographic article with a picture of six small bones. Antropho-artists had studied these bones and drawn several ape-women. Ape heads with female bodies, female heads with ape bodies, small ape-women, large ape-women -- all very different. National Geographic explained that their experts reviewed the drawings and selected one to represent the bones.
Mrs.G. then explained that the bones had been collected at her family's Texas ranch. They were from cows and hogs. Each student had been fooled by Mrs. G.'s discussion of dinosaurs into drawing not what they first thought the bones should be but dinosaurs instead. We learned to trust first the Bible and then the instincts that God has placed in our hearts.
Anna turned two today. She thought it appropriate to sneak in her princess picture.
