the view at my table this morning

One of the things I love most about Bigger Hearts for His Glory is the amount of activities there are scheduled one of those is notebooking. Every 5 days or so in both history and science there is a project that combines things they have learned with art.

Today was a history notebooking where they drew the northern hemisphere from Europe to North America then colored and labeled it with Christopher Columbus's route. These are done by looking in a book and pretty much copying but it suits Summers need for art EVERY single day without being overwhelming for me. I love how these projects combine History, Geography, Handwriting and art. They take awhile but the conversation at the table is always educational umm interesting and sometimes there is a sweet silence as they work and their colored pencils scrape against the table.
