Some of the ideas are for a traditional classroom but could easily be tailored for a homeschool experience. <br />

Types of Clouds Craft</h1>
Hope to try this at the week's end.....<br /><img alt="IMG_8671 copy2" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-472" height="300" src="http://thewisenest.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/IMG_8671-copy2.jpg" width="500" /><br />
I made the poster sheet to show the kids what they were going to do
for each cloud, and then gave them the individual cards to illustrate
each cloud. I recommend that you print the cards or the poster sheet
directly on card stock so it is sturdier and it also gives you the
background color so it is not white.<br />
This is what we used for each cloud. For the cumulus and
cirrocumulus, we mixed equal parts of shaving cream and glue. I had
heard about this mixture but never tried it. It is so fun and it dries
puffy.<br />
The cumulonimbus is the same mixture of shaving cream and glue and
then I added a few drops of black paint to make it gray. The cirrus
clouds are chalk marks and the stratus and stratocumulus are cotton
balls spread out.<br />

They did remove 75% of the Hairy Nevus successfully. Although he will need one more surgery we are optimistic at the end results. He is a happy, healthy and strong little guy. We know God's hand is on his life. <br />
<br />
As mama & papa are very loving and nurturing I am confident it is an integral part of the healing process and I could not be prouder. <br />
<br />
I am also assured that all of the prayers that have bombarded heaven for this little precious baby boy has had a huge impact on his pathway to healing and I thank you with my whole heart. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2khCtItc9Zzb1vQqrCLEsUsbpHB3Xx_Yp-CVVyZexbTelVAKuU8KxBCtoSb83eBkC4pqzp-g3Xd1K5h5kYCFafNqILI6bGufTQIpSw24ZIwscNBxVQqGCaz9Kvu58ktF-h6qTBn__wCM/s640/blogger-image-806561714.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2khCtItc9Zzb1vQqrCLEsUsbpHB3Xx_Yp-CVVyZexbTelVAKuU8KxBCtoSb83eBkC4pqzp-g3Xd1K5h5kYCFafNqILI6bGufTQIpSw24ZIwscNBxVQqGCaz9Kvu58ktF-h6qTBn__wCM/s640/blogger-image-806561714.jpg" /></a></div>Ruthiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07038225069546034948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457759804422999625.post-72584920394367703762013-01-31T11:30:00.001-05:002013-01-31T11:30:10.536-05:00Our Sweet Grand ColtonToday he undergoes a major surgery that will forever change his appearance as we have known him. While we love him more each day we don't even notice the Hairy Nevus he was born with but for the good health of his future removing it is the right choice for him. I am thanking and believing God for His cradling arms around Colton through the entire procedure & always. His parents are so strong and make such a great team working side by side for the better of our sweet Colton. Thank you Jesus for Your blessings of strength through this. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSaSChQ_1005cdLdut05rM3v6Q_vXdRD2nbGEF6AxCq8G_Cg-bwk8EAaJaA3dV1z0pTRYb4T44x3HjqsyKar6w2mniUxFCGGhb4CKfAx7MDVez565NwttrJ6vk4DsFD3mO_KQQKnlwKjA/s640/blogger-image--1469177975.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
