EARTHQUAKE!!!

Like many people in our area, this morning I awoke around 4am to rattling and shaking! NW IL had an aftershock from an earthquake! Of course this gave us excuse from the normal homeschool activities and reason to start lap packs and a unit study! Here are a few links we used if anyone is interested.

We also did a keyword search and discussed many scriptures on earthquakes in the Bible. ( www.biblegateway.com )
