homeschool day at the national building museum

just when i thought we’d have to skip this year’s program
because there was nothing new for my girls,
the National Building Museum added more exciting and relevant topics
to their children’s programs this past January.
radianceGirl became a cartographer for a couple hours
while mercyGirl and signGirl built a green roof.

as with all workshops at the NBM that my girls have been to,
they didn’t just talk about stuff;
they designed/built stuff too.
isn’t that what architecture is all about?

the overlay of this map shares her vision of her neighborhood done her way.

just add soil to these homes for a sustainable green roof.

found some good reads in the building zone

while the big girls were doing their workshops,
prayerGirl was really diggin’ the Building Zone.

girls can dig, too

the ultimate sandbox for a rainy, cold winter day

the next NBM Homeschool Day is in March.
at $10 a session, some programs are already sold out.

see you there?
