Funny Face

This year, science at Travelers’ Academy (which is what Charlotte dubbed our home school after we returned from France) is Human Anatomy.  A couple of weeks ago, we were studying the muscular system, and one bit of reading was about how many muscles are in the face.

The lesson plan suggested that I take pictures of the kids using their facial muscles in ways that communicate emotion.  Of course, this degenerated into a silly-face fest, but it’s been a long time since I’ve taken pictures of the kids just being silly, and I’d forgotten how much fun it is!

So, without further ado, here is a glimpse of the serious educating that goes on at our house…

I asked for the goofiest face possible here.  What really cracked us all up is that Jeremy seemed to understand the emotion for which I was asking and happily participated!

These were the sad faces.

These were the scared faces.  Or something like that.

I love home schooling.  And I really love these three kids that make it possible!
