Scott's Orchard (Brandan)

 

~Scott's Orchard~

        The Apple Orchard was so fun! First we got our stickers. Then we got to pick apples. Then we got to go on a Huge bouncy house and go on 3 wheelers! Then we went on a long tractor ride. And we went between Alabama and Tennessee! And we got to see all of their Fields! Then we had a whole demonstration. And there was an older lady who gave us the demonstration. She put an apple on a scale. And she had gummy bags, M and M s, and Pizza. The M and M s where heavier than  the apple! And the price was 10 dollars a person! There were Granny Smith apples and Red Delicious and all kinds of apples! And some of our friends from CO/OP came;), like my art teacher, and my Bugs Life teacher from CO/OP. Oh, and before we went on the tractor ride we saw how the apples were processed into apple cider. And the bags that they gave us to put our apples in were very little bags. But they were better than nothing. FOR SURE! And then when we were done with the demonstration we went back to the Apple Orchard. Then we went home. .IT WAS SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is never a lack of activity once the school year starts!! Here are some pictures of some of the fun projects we have been working on...

Baxter and Cade are loving preschool! When studying the letter 'D for Dinosaur' they made these pudding cups with oreos and malt ball rocks.

Letter jumping

Baxter and Cade have been working hard on their catechism questions. They were very proud to share them with you all :)

Shaila had her first meeting for American Heritage Girls last week! The girls have had to adapt to social distancing this year and changes due to COVID, but they have been doing a wonderful job. Shaila loved decorating her "sit upon" paint bucket, which holds all her materials, clipboard, and handbook.

Mom and I are volunteering as leaders this year. It's going to be a lot of fun!

The girls' first group activity was making a beautiful rock river at Big Springs Memorial Park. The girls hauled rocks and painted them with inspirational messages for the community. Their troop got to take pictures with the major, and they even made the front page of a local newspaper!

Everyone was happy to help Shaila paint rocks to add to her project!

For those of you who don't know, Ethan got a ball python a few months ago. Owen absolutely loves her!

Brandan made our second regional meal! South American chicken, fried okra, and yucca fries.

Shaila and Brandan love their science class! For this project they drew pictures of what they thought dogs would look like based on the strands of DNA that they put together!

I hope you all are having a great school year!
