`~John 15:1-2
READING
The Magic Beans by Margaret Hillert
LANGUAGE ARTS
Kanani has been doing her work while I work with her brother so I don't get much of a chance to take pictures like before. She worked on her spelling words and language workbooks.
MATH
Word problems and graphs
U.S. NOTEBOOK
Putting the state sticker on her map
Looking at pictures of Louisiana while listening to some jazz.
TIMELINE
Adding the Louisiana Purchase to her timeline.
ART
Kids used their thumbprints to make grapes on the vine to go with their memory verse.
SCIENCE
Corn experiment (Dry and Wet)
Wrapping 10 corn seeds in a napkin soaked in water and another 10 in a dry napkin. She would record each day for 5 days.
Instead of putting the red beans in a jar we made our own solar greenhouse by placing the red bean in between two soaked cotton balls and putting them in a ziplock bag. Then we taped them to the window so the sun would help them grow.
We've done this experiment several times and each time the kids get very excited when they see the seeds start to grow.
One of the beans has grown beautifully.
NATURE WALK
Kids went and explored the woods and played in the playground after our meeting at our co-op.
VIDEOS
We watched some videos of seeds and the process of them growing on YouTube.
ACTIVITIES
Hairstyle Theme at the library
She cut the hair on her toilet paper roll doll
He cut the hair on his toilet paper roll doll and was so proud of his excellent cutting skills.
It was pancake/pj day at our co-op
Went to Defy Gravity for a friend's birthday party.
Kids and I had so much fun.
This week we learned about Thomas Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase, Louisiana, seeds, and did lots of experiments.
GOD BLESS!!
