Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump

 I love learning about different cultures, and this is one of my favourite places to visit in Southern Alberta. The guides are very informative. Our guide was very open and honest to the questions that were asked of him, and the kids loved how he just told it like it was. No sugar coating.

 We got to learn about different types of tools, how they made them and their uses.

 Then we even got the opportunity to take down, and erect a TIPI. Little leaf, our guide, told us he can take down and put up a large Tipi by himself in 12 min.

 He gave the kids a round of applause when they finished putting up the TIPI.

Puppies

And then there were 7. Our dog had 6 Puppies on 

New Years Eve!!!!

Naturally, we took the opportunity to have a science lesson on 

LIFE (and all that entails), and now we are learning about responsibility. Next will come $ money management as we get ready to sell them.

Chocolate Black Bean Cookies

Our aunt is inspiring us to make

WHOLE FOOD, PLANT BASED

 treats. They are delicious and we don't feel yucky after eating them.(They disappeared as fast or faster than the sugar filled ones)

Water color - Fireworks

We went to a friends house to learn how to paint with

 water-colours. It was fun to see how circles on page could magically turn in to fireworks in the sky.

Cinnamon Bun Math ?

In the spirit of discovering everyday applications to the subject we are learning in our studies we made cinnamon buns. I didn't get a picture of the proofing yeast, but it was spectacular. The kids enjoyed using the skills of: measuring, adding fractions, mixing solutions, growing/feeding organisms, understanding gases, chemical change, etc.
