August Funny Friday

August Funny Friday

Today’s post is August’s Funny Friday, a regular feature published on the last Friday of every month. Funny Friday is a collaborative project. Each month one of the participants submits a picture, then we all write 5 captions or thoughts inspired by that month’s picture. Links to the other bloggers’ posts are below, click on them and see what they’ve come up with. I hope we bring a smile to your face as you start your weekend.

Leonardo da Vinci Unit Study Resources




Our first topic this year will be Leonardo da Vinci. We will be using this for science, history and art! LOVE it when one topic covers so many areas. Makes everything so much simpler. ;)

Here is a list of the books that I know we will be using. Afterward I post a larger list of books and ebooks.

The books should be easily found at Amazon or your local library. 














This one has 21 activities!!





This one has a kit to build your own ornithopter.





Those are the books we are planning to use. I will probably add one or two free Kindle books to the list, as well.
