SCIENCE
After learning about Pond Skaters and Surface Tension we did several experiments that were in the teacher manual.
We had some little bugs that stick to the wall that look a lot like pond skaters. After watching several videos on YouTube about pond skaters we got our bugs to see if they would act the same and float on water. D couldn't stop laughing seeing them float.
Kids loved observing the pictures while I read to them about rivers and lakes and the things that live by them.
He did a puppet show for us using his Horse puppet.
This week D learned about Ants in his Bug Science class.
It was a very intense game and the girls all played hard and won.
His whole team played hard and even though they lost they did their very best.
Our nature walk this week it involved soccer practices and games. Such a wonderful sport which takes lots of exercise to play.
Watched a video on Rivers and Lakes to go with our lesson this week, and also watched some videos on the Amazon River.

Wee Sing: All my little ducklings
This week we went to Defy Gravity with one of our co-op groups. I was very happy that my nephew could join us since he was in town for a bit.
So much fun watching them enjoy themselves.
You would of thought that after all the jumping they did for almost 2 hours they would of gone home and taken naps. Not my kids all they did was want to play more, doesn't surprise me a bit.
We have been very busy this week learning lots of new things about Germany, rivers and lakes, pond skaters and surface tension, and how to tell time. Also worked on the letter Hh, numbers 1-20, and reviewed our shapes. Got a chance to also spend some time with my older nephew since he was in town for several days. Love anytime we get to spend with our family while they are town. Now unto next week to start our studies on Africa: Kenya.
GOD BLESS!!!
