THE  10 PLAGUES



Placed a couple of drops of red food coloring into some water to represent the first plagues blood in the water.



Frogs everywhere to represent the second plagues.



Gnats everywhere on her to represent the third plagues.



She was grossed out by the flies which represent the fourth plagues.



Saddened by all the animals that died representing the fifth plagues.



Feeling sick with all the stickers that represent the sixth plagues boil.



Brought out the plastic ice cubes to represent hail the seventh plagues.



Eighth plagues of locusts.



Went to the bathroom with the light off to represent the ninth plagues of darkness.



Little man got involved with the tenth plagues which represent the firstborn boys die.

SCIENCE



First she separated what she thought was going to sink and float.  Much to her surprise many of the items she thought would sink actually floated.  


Did the Pushing Power experiment: she tried to push the balloon under the water.



Clay experiment: to see how much clay it takes before it sinks.



After reading about boats and the way they work the kids grabbed some of theirs to play with, we used a bigger tub of water.



Balloon filling experiment using baking soda and vinegar



Placed baking soda into the balloons in which the kids then poured into the water bottles that had vinegar with food coloring in it.



It was so cool to see the balloons fill up this way.

MUSIC



We reviewed Peter and the Wolf: she actually matched the cards correctly without even listening to the music.

POEMS

BUOYANCY
     BY:  Amy LV

Rocks in a river.
Ice in a drink.
Some things float.
Some things sink.

Floating things
have buoyancy.
Test a little 
toy and see.

Does it sink?
Does it float:
Could you use it
as a boat?

Try a pencil.
It pops up.
Try a hammer.
Try a cup.

Test some objects
in your bath.
Wath them.
Now you're 
doing math.

If something
Is denser
than the water
it will sink.

But if the waters
denser, then....

Well, 
what do you think?

VIDEOS





Watched a video on YouTube about sink and float experiments.

FIELD TRIP



Went to the library for Pumpkin theme story time



Kids enjoyed searching for the Jack-O-Lantern 



Played Musical Shapes to complete all the shapes they would need to build their own Jack-O-Lanterns



Completed Jack-O-Lanterns



Unto some more science fun with Vinegar and Baking Soda 



Blowing bubbles inside the pumpkins

END OF THE WEEK 



She had lots of fun at her soccer game, I was sad I had to miss her game (first time ever) due to her brother being sick. 



After her soccer game her dad took her to an activity at church (October Fest) which of course she loved.



While waiting for her school pictures to be taken her class enjoys some board games.

This week we learned more about Moses: the Burning Bush, God's promise to free Israel, the 10 Plagues, Passover, and leaving Egypt.  We really enjoyed learning about Moses.  Also learned the sound: kn, gn, and ough.  Used our +0, +1, and +2 math cards.  For science we discussed the subject on sink and float and reviewed the music activity of Peter and the Wolf.  Unto next week to see what fun adventures are in store for us.

GOD BLESS!
