SCIENCE



After reading about the weather and how rain occurs and rainbows are made we made our own rain in a jar.



NATURE WALK

 

Went to Daniel Trees Farm and there the kids learned about how they grow the trees to prepare it for Christmas and got to explore the farm.


 

Went on a scavenger hunt around the farm.


 

Kids made their own Christmas wreath and then went on a hay ride around the farm.

VIDEOS


Watched several movies on the meaning of Christmas, mostly Veggie Tales ones.

ACTIVITIES


This week we put up the Christmas tree, very far in advance than most years.  They really wanted to put up the tree and start decorating the house for Christmas.  Of course I gave in and put up the tree with their help.  We left all our Thanksgiving decor till after Thanksgiving.  Once we put the tree and finished decorating we discussed the real meaning of Christmas and why we celebrate Christmas.  


This week was a much shorter week than the other weeks before.  Mostly because this was suppose to be the week closer to Christmas but we are ahead of what the book says so we improvise.  We learned about Kentucky, how the Pioneers made cloth, experimented with weather and wind.  Learned more about rain and enjoyed our moment of decorating the Christmas tree.

GOD BLESS!!
