These have improved so much with their reading this year.  K went from reading 1st grade level to now reading 4th grade level.  So thankful we are going in the right direction now after finding out she has dyslexia.  D is reading at 1st grade level from when we started he didn't read.  They make me so proud of their dedication and hard work. 


This week we did double the work one day due to me having to get a root canal and just too swollen to teach the kids.  D was more than happy to do double work and he did amazing.

SCIENCE 


Studied everything on Venus this week.  Learning how hot it is, all the volcanoes it has, and how it never gets cold.


The book suggested to make a volcano using a thimble and butter but we decided to use our mini volcanoes.  Placed some baking soda mixed with dish soap inside the volcano, then the kids placed a few drops in their vinegar cup, once they poured the vinegar in the volcano it erupted.  Experiment the kids have always loved to do.


Mixing Experiment 


Mixed several different items we have in our kitchen into several containers of water: mixed cinnamon, salt, grape juice, flour, and oil.  Kids enjoyed trying to mix the oil with the water and then seeing it float on top of the water.
