"You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you."
Nehemiah 9:6
I can't believe Spring is right around the corner! We have had a great school year. I think our favorite subject has been Science. This year in Science we chose Apologia's Exploring Creation with Astronomy. A book that does not contradict God's Word on creation! This book begins with a lesson on the nature of astronomy, and then it covers the major structures of our solar system. Starting with the sun and working towards Pluto, we are learning all the details about all nine planets (or is it eight? - we will soon have to decide) in the solar system. It has been AWESOME to study the solar system and learn about the stars and galaxies that make up God’s incredible universe. I have always been intrigued by the stars and planets. This month we received a treat... we are able to see the planets Venus and Jupiter. Mars is now displaying its greatest brilliance in our sky. It has been exciting and a great learning experience for the kids. I was so excited to learn about the app google sky! It allows us to view celestial objects, including stars, constellations, galaxies, planets and the Earth's moon - AWESOME!!
