Winter studies

La fin de l'annee est arrivee!  

Some last pics before 2013 arrives!

 We read some really wonderful books
on animals in the winter,
and talked about which ones
hibernate, migrate or adapt.

 I must admit - I had no idea bees and frogs hibernated.
Really?!
Yeah, so much for my public school education... haha..

It's been awhile since we rowed any books with FIAR...
We picked up Warm as Wool on interlibrary loan...
a wonderful story about pioneer life in 1800s in Ohio....
and an innovative mom buying sheep to spin wool to make clothes
for her cold children.
We learned about sheep and how Jesus is our Good Shepherd.  
Loved that Eliz said, after the story, if they had a shepherd like Jesus
those poor sheep wouldn't have died in the story. 
Yup, that's right.  He takes good care of us! :) 

On that note, goodbye 2012...and

Happy New Year everyone!!
