We made slides of ear wax!!
Also:
dragonfly wing (my son actually had a dead one from this summer in his room)
a dog hair
onion skin
fingernail dirt (again thanks to my son)

Very cool!
The kids loved looking at "stuff" and learning about it.

I fear telling you what my son wanted to put on a slide....
I told him no.
I am open to most things but not to poo poo slides.

I remember getting a microscope for chrismas one year and begging my uncle for his blood! ahahaha I think I need to find one for my kids.. I had tons of fun with that thing. I dont know why I never thought to buy them one!

We've been homeschooling this year and a friend who sells microscopes let me borrow 2 from him (different kinds). Everything goes under the microscope. It is a lot of fun! Like a whole other world, I never got to use a microscope in school so this has been fun for me too!

Today at our homeschool:

DD15 dragged me out of bed (migraine) to drive her to the community college for her finance class. I waited for her, and then we got her registered for an acting class. (She dropped the film class she went to once last week; she said the instructor mumbled and she couldn't understand him. Not paying $400 for her to not get anything out of it.)

Then we drove home and she did her online classes while I slept. (Still migraine.) Now she's making dinner while I try to wake up. (STILL migraine.)

Thank God for online classes. (They do all the assigning, grading, and record keeping, and DD15 is motivated enough to do the work.) Thank God for a teenage daughter who is taking this seriously, and who is also a great cook!

The other kids are in public school.

Oh I KNOW!!! This makes me feel a little guilty for some of my comments over on the "Husbands looking at porn" thread!

Today in homeschool we started the wonderful book for girls called "Math Does Not Suck". My daughter borrowed a friend's and loved it. Now we're deep into our own.
