Logan. Looking good.

Collin loves homeschooling.

Jordan, looking sweet.

Kim and Lynnea.

Nancy takes cleaning Harvest's facility very seriously. She employs techniques that may seem unconventional but they are highly effective.


Bea learning about first and second class levers.


Are scissors first or second class levers? Leave a comment and get a prize!

Second Class Levers! Once again, Lynnea taught us scientific knowledge we will use for the rest of our lives.


Kayleigh!

Nathan!

Have you lifted a lion lately? Did you use a lever? We did, we built two types of first class levers!

We used a simple machine to learn how to lift a lion today. Lynnea, as usual, did a fabulous job. Thank you.

Claire placed us into the first ever Reston Orchestra! She explained each of our instruments and roles and then allowed us to play our invisible instruments with classical music. Claire is definitely a TVTL (too valuable to leave). We love her dearly.


Lynne is a baby-monger. I can say this because I am constantly fighting her to hold babies. She has an incredible heart and wonderful hugs. Here Faith is being comforted while her mommy teaches us orchestra.


This was a scene from Isaac's family play. He was one of the Wright brothers finally flying their plane.


Linda takes our little ones so seriously. She has absolutely no fun with them at all. Today she brought in dress up clothes. Seven princesses and one prince!

We discussed density and viscosity in science today. Dr. Lynna-scientist-teacher-extrodiniare helped us pour oil, honey, food coloring, water, honey and coins into beakers to watch their interactions.

Muscles in Motion IV

A new look for our moms? Miss Donna was helping the children improve their fine motor skills today. We used clothes pens to clip fabric onto moms. The look may become the next fashion statement! We'll call it recession wear. Have a tear or a stain? Just switch around the clothes pin and cover it!....or not.

Caleb and Luke work on their volcano.


Joel and Boaz were fascinated!

Mrs. W. the Great stayed up until one this morning to make clay volcanoes. Her volcanoes were incredible! She then helped us make them explode using soap, water, food coloring, vinegar and baking soda. The children loved watching them erupt. Thank you Mrs. W.








This is Mrs. H and Mrs. W. Thank you again Mrs. W for a wonderful job making the volcanoes and researching about them.





Mrs. M and Boaz look at a volcano.
