Skittles experiment, making their own rainbows.  Place the skittles in a circle on a plate and pour warm water in the center till you cover all the skittles.  Sit back and watch the color run in the water.


Beautiful Rainbow, one of Kanani's favorite experiment.


Enjoying the great outdoors playing water volleyball




Always fun when it involves water



Enjoying our Sabbath dinner at her grandparents house with grape juice, and everything else.  Didn't get a chance to take a picture of everything.

Here is a link to making a  Challah in a bag, the bread the Jewish use to celebrate the Sabbath.  



Having fun at one of the grandparents house 



First week back at our co-op, she has been so excited and waiting anxiously to return with her friends.  She was excited to see some old friends and make new friends.  

SCIENCE



The girls enjoyed making volcanoes while I explained the process of how a volcano is formed.




After playing with water outside and making their own volcanos using water they got some volcanic rocks and started to hammer them into pieces to see what was inside them.



Did the "Liquid rock can shape the Earth" experiment as stated in the Teachers Manual.  Cut a hole in an empty Teddy Grahams cup and placed a tube of toothpaste in the hole.  Then filled the cup about 2/3 of play sand.  Kanani pushed the toothpaste (represented soft magma rock) up on the dirt (represented the earth's surface), the dirt moved upward which was awesome to see.  

POEMS

V IS FOR VOLCANO
     By:  Original rhyme @ The Measured Mom

(To the tune of "Are you Sleeping?)

Big volcano, big volcano, 
Getting hot, getting hot!
Now the lava's coming, 
Now the lava's coming
Out the top! Out the top!

VIDEOS



Watched a video of "Magic School Bus" about Volcanoes 



FIELD TRIP



Went to the pool to celebrate with our friends before they return next week to school, enjoying their final days of summer.




Completing their Avengers set building Hulk at Lowe's Build & Grow


END OF WEEK



Went to our friends house to visit their new addition Bailey (Springer Spaniel), talk about puppy fever.  She is so adorable, sweet, and gives the best puppy kisses.  Kanani is head over heels for her, she's got puppy fever bad.


We are blessed to have my parents live so close




I'm so proud of her, she has come a long way since we started this wonderful journey.

This week we completed creation 6 and 7, celebrated the sabbath, learned the ea sound, u_e sound, and about volcanoes.  It was fun including our neighbor in some of our science experiments this week.  Unto week 15 and see what new adventures are in store for us.
