The Bible verse for this week…
“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:7
Just before our Christmas break, Isabel was given the assignment to write a report about an animal of her choosing.
She picked the dolphin.
Yesterday, we did some internet research about them. She found out the food they eat, how big they get, how long they live, where they live and some other information about these mammals.
Over the next few days she needs to gather more information and later in the week she needs to write up a a rough outline. Next week she needs to have enough information to write up a rough draft and then write up her report.
If you remember she had to do a similar report last year on a northwest mammal. She picked the porcupine.

One of Isabel’s science books has internet links so that we can further learning and knowledge. Today our links lead us to some fascinating finds.
We watched videos of:
- barnacles
- crabs
- anemones
- mussels
- sea snails
- sea urchins
- octopus
- chiton
- brittle stars
Great stuff and we both learned something.

The dangerous weather situations, we talked about were; hurricanes, typhoons, waterspouts, and tsunami’s.
We talked at great length about tsunami’s and the 2004 Asia Tsunami that happened on December 26th. We watched home videos (no sound) from those that survived the 2004 tsunami.
