So THIS is science!

 

 ****SHOE TAXONOMY****


 
The first thing the girls had to do was pile up a mountain of shoes, one of each pair. I cannot exactly say just how many THAT was. Then the sorting began.....and began.....and began...

 
Trying to decide how to divide into shoe classifications was hilarious. Minnie Me's ideas about all the pretty shoes getting a special house to live in rather missed the mark. But scored high on laughter.
 
 
We ended up making Kingdoms of: Laces, Slides, Slippers and Claps!
Would you believe our lesson wanted us to classify Kingdom, Phylum, Class and Order. They even had the outrageous suggestion to take it further!  Hahahaahh You guessed it. We ended with Order!

Big Foot Bubba's

 
Little Mommy's
 
 
Daddy's
(He had a nicer pair on at work!)

 
He we go a classifying away!

 
Here we go a wandering,
Our minds in thought today!

 




 
Yes, Little Mommy had a fun time with this lesson and quick to a picture when I wasn't looking!
In just a few minutes we discover Minnie Me locked my bedroom door. A door of which we had no key!!!! Hinges on the inside and door knob screws on the inside too. Bubba wanted the fun to kick it in BUT Mommy just wouldn't let him. Thankfully Daddy had a stash of keys and he saved the day or rather the night! All this to study FLOWERS!
 
Many thanks go to Apologia's Botany! The girls can't wait until the next project!
