Fieldtrip!

Today we went to the Columbia County Library Science Fair workshop. It helps kids with how to do a science fair project. Ideas and where to find books that sort of thing. They did the soda and mentos experiment and got to check out some science fair project boards.

No trip to the library is complete without checking out more books!!

Skyler loved seeing the science fair display boards! We may have to do a little science fair of our own now!

Fieldtrip!

 We took a fieldtrip to Folk Days in White Springs.  It was at the Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park. They learned all about rope making, pottery, blacksmithing, and of course Stephen Foster! He is the man who worte the FL state song "Old Folks at Home". It is situated on the banks of the legendary Suwannee River. The museum features exhibits about Foster's most famous songs and his music can be heard emanating from the park's 97-bell carillon throughout the day. It also has awesome dioramas of alot of his songs. It is really a great place.

Today our traveler enjoyed math and art

Today we studied John Trumbull the artist and his painting "Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker Hill" It just so happens that John Trumbull was born in Connecticut.

 Fox needed the travelers input on his version of the famous painting!!












Math was just a fun day. We used all the Hershey candy math books and did activities just to be silly. We hope the traveler is having fun!!
