Homeschool Field Trip!

We had a great field trip to the National Cryptologic Museum on Feb. 27th.
Our home school group did the museum's "Who, What, When and Where" tour.
Ms. Jennifer Wilcox took the kids on an abbreviated tour of the museum.
She highlighted different wars and the cryptology associated with them.
The kids, split into teams, were then given pictures of specific items in the museum. They had to locate each item assigned to their group, and answer questions about that item.

The kids did a great job on their assignments, and learned a lot!
It was interesting to learn about codes and ciphers.

This was a fun example of codes during the Depression.
After the students filled out their "who, what, when and where" questions for their museum items, they shared their answers in a game format.
Our future Cryptologist, Jarad Lee, took the game... with his team of 1!
The students were all given prizes / souvenirs!
There was so much to see here, we had to revisit a few of the exhibits.


A particular favorite of mine. This exhibit was on identity... fingerprints, eye recognition, facial scanning... FASCINATING!

Ephesians 3:14-19

"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen."
