In her Global Arts class in our co-op K reviewed Brazil and their celebrations of "Carnival".
We couldn't find beeswax modeling clay so we picked Imaginary Mapmaking from our Global Arts book and made our own version of the world.
This was a really fun activity to do with the kids, love how they viewed the world. K said in her world there will be no bullies and just peace. D added T-Rex to his world so he would be the leader of the planet. Love their imaginations and how creative they are.
After learning about castles in Germany and seeing several different beautiful pictures the kids made their own version of castles using our Wonder Blocks.
GEOGRAPHY
Traveling to Germany this week.

Plane Tickets ready for their flight to Germany.
Coloring in their Germany worksheets.
Added Greece and Germany to our world map.

Enjoying all of our materials we received from Germany, by far the best package we have gotten in the mail. Also enjoyed some Haribo Goldbears that a friend of ours gave the kids from his trip to Germany.
Loved all our posters Germany sent us.
Few goodies from Germany we found at Aldi's.
Colored in Germany on our map.
OBserved our materials from Denmark and Czech Republic we got in the mail.
We saved our board from when we did a presentation of Germany last year for our co-op. Kids remembered doing the presentation and all the facts that were on the board. So glad I decided to keep the board.
Few of our Coca-Cola International Animals from: Nepal, Romania, Czech Republic, and England.
When I was the kids age my parents got me this wonderful block set when we lived in Germany. I've always loved this set not just because my parents gave it to me but because of all the fairy tale pictures it had. Blessed to still have this set and be able to see my children have as much fun and joy with it as I did. Thankful for these wonderful memories I get to share with my kids.
Six different folk stories these blocks represent.
SCIENCE
D learned about lighting bugs in his Bug Science class at our co-op.
Searched for different animals that live around ponds and lakes.
Love of Dinosaurs are strong in this family, our living was taken over by them.
Few of our Landform and water posters we used this week.
Looked at several pictures on landforms and water forms and then completed our landform worksheets we got from Snippets by Sarah Blog.
Freezing fresh and saltwater experiment.
The kids predicted which water would freeze first and were very excited to see their prediction came true. The freshwater froze first and the saltwater didn't due to the salt in the water.
The kids wanted to see how it would effect both types of water after 4 hours in the freezer. They both held the cups and try to squeeze them and noticed that the fresh water cup was frozen solid and the saltwater cup was easier to squeeze even though it seemed the surface was frozen. This really was a neat experiment. We couldn't get an accurate reading as far the temperature went since our thermometer couldn't read in the water.
Vibration experiment: placed some salt on top of a cookie sheet pan (which we turned upside down) and had the kids tap the pan with the spoon to see the salt move on top of the pan like sound bounces or vibrates.
Kids learning about vibration.
NATURE WALK
Went to our local pond and lake for the kids to get a better look of what we have been studying.
Got a chance to feed some beautiful ducks and spend some time by the lake together as a family.
Went for a walk on the trail to observe the many different plants, flowers and trees by the wetlands.
Kids love hiking and running around on the trail.
After our walk in the woods we talked about how the weather was changing and we are now in Autumn. One of the main things the kids pointed out was the colors of the leaves. Love all the colors of fall, our favorite season of the year. To go with our talk of Autumn I printed off this great worksheet from Education website.
Your kids will "jump" into learning with this fun autumn themed word search! Check out more fun reading activities at Education.com!
VIDEOS
Watched the episode of "The Magic School Bus: Goes Upstream", season 3 episode 8.

Took the kids to Sonic to enjoy some lunch and the new Oreo Waffle Ice Cream.
They were super excited for their dinosaur toys that came with their meal.
Playground Fun
This week at our local library the theme was Mythical Creatures: mermaids, dragons, unicorns, and fairies.
We all enjoyed the theme this week and the kids made their own dragons and unicorns.
Our wonderful unicorns.
Loved learning all we did this week on Germany and look forward to learning more next week. Also learned about about ponds and lakes and the many different types of landforms. Worked on telling time, adding and subtracting fractions, and had a great time with all our art and science projects. D learned about the letter C and continued to learn about farms and all the benefits it provides for everyone. Had a lot of wonderful family time and got back to our normal routine after 2 weeks of dealing with Hurricane Florence. Now unto next week to continue our studies on Germany.
GOD BLESS!!!
