Summer in Review

We did a unit on color and art, lots of color sorting, beading, manipulatives and more!  The easel and paint pots were a hot commodity this summer and the kids also loved scissor work!  We also did some printing and copy work with calligraphy.

Moon Cycles, Astronomy and Constellations
 We studied several weeks on learning the moon cycles, constellations and some Greek mythology

 Learning and Playing Salmon Life Cycle in the Yachats River

 Michael was also able to go Tuna fishing  and visit the Rogue Farm in Independence, OR and learned about the hop fields and processing, the girls had fun picking plums, pears and apples too... MJ was practicing her fastpitch with the fallen apples against the tree.

ng and caught quite a bit to can and freeze!  Yahoo now for the 1 million Chinook run coming into the Alsea this fall... Harvest time is here!  

He`ceta Lighthouse, Oregon Coast

My whole life I've been around  a lot of Heceta named places in Alaska, but not He`ceta... one Heceta De Bruno .... our lighthouse is named after this chap... but history seems torn between my stories of Spanish explorer and Portuguese Mapmaker... you decide

 Cascadian Camp out this weekend! Can't wait to meet more like minded individuals, if you haven't heard of the Cascadian movement, they just had the first raining man camp out in WA and we are having our Oregon one here at the Seal Rock Art Barn this weekend.  Can't wait to silk screen, installation art and camp with some amazing people, did I mention fire dancing, didgeridoo and live DJ?

And now it's back to school!  Wow where did summer go?  Thankfully it's still nice and sunny here in Oregon and the harvests are in full effect, one more week with FB before pre-school starts so we'll get in some, did I mention it's so quiet in my house right now?? Kind of Spooky....  Did I mention that I have three openings available?  We would love you have you join our tribe at One Shoreline, please read my program policies, enrollment form and give me a call to schedule a time to visit us.
