SCIENCE



In his Bug Science class D learned about spiders and their life cycles.




After talking about the grasslands the kids searched for animals in their bin that live in the grasslands.


After searching for the animals they placed in their Grassland diorama.  


Once they completed their diorama the kids searched in their "Book of Animals" for the ones that lived in Hot and Dry climates.


The book "Elephants of Africa by Gail Gibbons" is a great book to go with the Elephant Experiment in the teachers manual.



Elephant Experiment: this was a neat experiment to see how elephants stay cool.


Grassland Plant and Meat Eaters



We all hate animal poaching, especially these precious animals.

NATURE WALK 



Before K's soccer game the kids went searching for little frogs.




He was excited to have 3 in his hands.




She did awesome in her game today, the team won 2-1.  These girls play hard.



D was very focused today and play hard.  He told us he had a lot of fun today.

VIDEOS


Found a new series on Africa on Netflix, we have really enjoyed watching them and highly recommend for anyone studying Africa.




Got a bit confused with the directions in the teacher's manual so we watched a video on "How to play Mancala" on YouTube.  We really enjoyed the game.

MUSIC



Wee Sing: Bebe Moke 

FIELD TRIP



For story time the kids learned about pumpkins and fall.  




STEM project: baking soda and vinegar inside a pumpkin.



For their craft they made their own fall wreaths.


This week we continued our studies on Africa, learned about the grassland and all the plants and animals that are there.  Worked on graphs for math and finished our Language Arts book this week.  Got to order another one for K.  Also learned more on elephants, pumpkins, and really enjoyed all the arts and crafts we did this week.  Unto next week to finish our studies on Africa.

GOD BLESS!!!
