Poetry

I cannot post the photos of our fossils right now...so...I will post about poetry. Several weeks ago, we spent some time on limericks. They are so much fun!

They follow the poetry pattern of:
A

There once was a funny clown
He made a funny frown
He climbed up a tree
Then bumped into me
Thank heavens! I rolled into town!
Cari


There once was a hairy sheep
Who loves to party and sleep
His mama said no
So he could not go
And now no fun will he reap!

Fossil Hunting

We have been on a fossil hunting kick lately. Probably because of the nice weather we have been experiencing by traveling a little further south that South Bend. We traveled to Missouri at the end of March for the National Homeschool Basketball Championship and went fossil hunting there. Since we returned, we have traveled back and forth to Muncie, IN a couple of times. While down here we took some of our friends to Richmond, IN for an afternoon of fossil hunting. The Richmond site has abundant fossils and is encouraging for those newcomers to fossil finding expeditions. We leave Muncie today, and head to Pennsylvania for Easter with John's family. No fossil hunting there. We do hope to get some decent photographs though. When we return it is my hope to clean up our specimans and see if I can get some good photographs of them. Then we would like to post them on this site. We really collected some great ones...so...I hope the photos will do them justice. Keep checking back.
