Art Projects & Soil Experiment

So this week Sarah Anne was learning about soil and the book suggested you have people from different areas send pictures of soil.  We took a step farther and called Grandma and Granddaddy (Georgia), Nana (SC), Aunt Betty (NC), Mamaw and Papaw (NC), Amy (TN), and Nanny and Bubby (SC).  So we practiced our phone skills and then compared the soil and created the "states" to compare how it was different inland and on the coast.  I have to say it was really fun and the girls loved comparing and collecting it.  Who knew dirt was so fun?

Also, we did our art project where we made bean mosaics.  They turned out cute also!

Sarah Anne was so meticulous and did an awesome pattern.

Where all the soil came from



So cute!

We are still waiting on a few soil samples, but made some predictions of how it will look compared to what the soils from the same type of region were like!
