Homeschool Bookfair Show & Tell

Saturday I had such fun!!! I joined 3 others to head to the Homeschool Book Fair in Arlington BEFORE 7a. We walked all over the convention center!! Then we headed to the Scholastic Booksale!! Finally we headed to eat with very tired feed & my book bag was laden down!!! We returned home at 9ish soooo tired!!!

For my AO journey!! Show & Tell!!

Great Artists Explained - We looked up our current artist Van Eyck & saw he lived in Joan of Arc's day. Cool we are reading about her!! I think this will be a great help to me for our artist study. I like learning about who they are! (Now I'm curious about the related Great Art book!!) (S - Scholoastic)

Composers (Fandex Family Field Guides) This fandex gives a bio on the composers we study!! I use another one of these for our Shakespeare plays!! (S)

Make Your Own Itty-Bitty Princesses These will add to our Shakespeare troup.

Klutz Book of Knots Knots to tie with Seabird. We've been using an online site. This will be handy!

These are from my used book hunt!!

The Jungle Book This is for AO4. Alas I think is does not have book 2. Drats. I even had a Disney version... and that's surely not an original. (Kathy... maybe I could borrow your at the book 2 point!!)

Robinson Crusoe AO4 A paperback from way back in 1988!! Our graduation year!! And it has been 20 years!!

Rip Van Winkle and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow AO4 A hardback & illustrated. Fun.

And the Other things!!

Holy Cow Science - Geodes, Wacky Water Tricks, & a growing Alligator- Cool science fun.

Geographical Terms Map from Rand McNally This shows all those terms on one map!! It truely shows the difference between a pond & a lake!!! Now they can see it!!

Miller Pad & Paper - Asundry of paper & index cards.

A Chicken's Guied to Talking Turkey with Your Kids About Sex by Dr. Kevin Leman... I got the audio CD & Hubbie can listen to it for his drive!

Miracle of Creation Series My girls enjoyed the first book of flowers. Then the bird book will be great with our bird studies next year.

Finally some Spizzirri maze books of shells & birds & animals... That they've started already!!

Wow!! If you made it to the end here... I'm surprised!! I've bearly made it to the end~~ Grace!~ ss

You can surely borrow our Jungle Book for the second part. I have two copies because the one I like only has the first part. Glad you found some of the other books you needed, and cool to find the audio for Leman's book! (Although I am much happier having it in print, myself, but I know you'll like the CD.)
