Song of Songs is a love poem

ACTIVITIES
Making Lentil Stew to go with the story of when Esau sold his birthright to his brother for some bread and lentil stew. The recipe is in the TM book.
Final preparations of the stew and then we got to enjoy the stew.
Started off our morning with a little concert before school
We look up from working on school work and see that someone is spying on us :)
Making us breakfast: scrambled eggs with cheese and turkey slices
Talked about camels and it so happened that she had picked out a sticker at the library with a camel on it.
To go with our snow and ice theme she played with the Kinetic Sand Ice Cream Treat Kit
More Peter and the Wolf music activity, we have really enjoyed the stories and identifying the instruments
SCIENCE
Learning about snow and ice
Pointing out the South Pole, North Pole, and the Equator
Talked about snowflakes and how they are made and proceeded to make some using coffee filters
Made our own snow using 3 cups of baking soda and 1/2 cup of conditioner. Once mixed it was cold almost like the real thing.
Making snow balls and playing with snowflakes and penguins
After discussing about camels we did the experiment in the TM book. First she took a pencil and pressed it into the kinetic sand to see how easy it sinks in the sand, the second one we taped a quarter to the pencil to see how it would sink. It took longer to sink in the sand which went great with explaining how the camels hooves help it stay on top of the sand. Then she breathed on the mirror to see the water particles on the glass.
POEM
SNOW
By: Pamela Joyce Randolph
Branches on the evergreens
are dressed in snowy white,
as soft the moonlight sparkles,
on this blanket of the night.
Delicate, untouched and pure,
is found the ground below,
as gentle moon beams glimmer,
on the freshly fallen snow.
VIDEOS
No Snow and Ice lesson is complete without watching "Disney Frozen"
FIELD TRIP
Went to the library for story time and craft, learned about Fall
Danced to a song about trees loosing their leaves
Making butterflies out of coffee filters, after they color the filter with markers they spray some water so the colors can run together.
Both of their butterflies completed
It was Author Day at the co-op and Kanani wanted to talk about one of her favorite book "Batman", so her and her brother wore their Batman shirts.
END OF THE WEEK
Went to my dad's house and Kanani wanted to play hide-n-seek with Dartanian. It didn't go as planned since little man wanted to join her in the counting.
