This week my nature was a prickly pear. I had a chose to do a close-up picture or not. I never knew that a prickly pear was a fruit. A prickly pear is a cactus. Cacti are spiky.

Last weeks Nature Study was on this lovely creature; a turkey vulture. There were many in our yard when we were leaving for the park, so we were wondering if something had recently died. Callie quickly checked online and was relieved to learn that they eat carrion exclusively. This didn't stop her from checking on the Nuggets anyway.

As much as I am in love with the planner on this website, and I still highly recommend it, I am no longer using it. I was hoping this year to create my own science curriculum, but found it just too much for right now. I purchased a new program from Real Science for Kids, and have redirected the money I was spending for the planner. The planner is only $9.95 a month, but in a year it will cost more than the science curriculum I purchased. Oh well. I am happy with my binder and I'm enjoying all the free time I have since I am not planning as much for science. Brent is doing Pre-Level 1 Chemistry and Callie is doing Level 1 Chemistry. We will be adding History of Chemistry and Biographies of Chemists to our study.

For history this year we are doing the medieval times. The project I am working on is medieval embroidery! I will be using the embroidered fabric to make a tapestry. When I'm all done it should look very nice!

<--This is the design I'll be making. This is a great project because, after I'm done with this I'll be able to make all kinds of things.
