Summer School & Lila says God! - July 2011

 

This summer we had a full house.  All the cousins were together! 

 

Melissa and I decide to keep all the kids busy we would have SUMMER SCHOOL! YEAHHH!

 

We had GRAND plans! ... this was the only "successful" week! It was space week! 

We talked about space, Michael gave the Bible lesson on God creating the stars, 

Melissa did the history lesson and included some really cool facts about Grandad and his work at NASA, and I was in charge of the art lesson!


It was fun... Here are a few photos (we did more than this, but maybe Melissa has the photos?)

 

Cutie Lila Grace!

 

 Cooper and Lila coloring in her room. He is a great big cousin and loves to show her things all the time. She LOVES to color.

 

more "coloring" :)

 

  Cheyenne shows me the smiley face she made with her lunch.

 

So I taught a lesson on VanGogh's Starry Night...

This is where I got the majority of my lesson... and then adapted it! 


I showed them this pic and we discussed it, and where he was when he painted it. I asked them to paint what they see out their windows at night (or imagined they saw!)... here are the masterpieces!


Levi

(I dont know where Levi's "after" picture went?)


 Cooper

He did a front and back masterpiece!

(we used crayons to create the stars... and then drew markers over it! it looked really neat!_

 Cheyenne

 

 Micah

 

Here is a video of Lila saying "God"... one night after our Bible Lesson:

 Who made Lila? ... Lila says "God... dadadada" :) 

 

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Indescribable Lyrics by Chris Tomlin


Love it all!!
