I name this blog ironically because I had a child wake in the middle of the night sick, and had a second kid get sick in my car this afternoon as we pulled into the garage...yuck! Doesn't the germ parade know that we are not on the letter "y" yet?!? Yuck, yuck, yuck!
Ok, regardless of the sickness in my home, attitudes are still high, so we went ahead and did our letter of the day activities...by their request, not my need to finish on time, I swear!
Day W: whales, "Wagon Wheels" by Barbara Brenner, Watermelon
Our animal was whales, and we even broke the no tv rule to watch a Whale episode of Wild Kratts on PBS kids.
We did a fun water experiment, "sink or float" using several objects around the house.
The kids hypothesized whether each item would sink or float and then we tossed them in the water. The piece of watermelon rune (little upside down square in the plate) floated, which amazed the 4 year old, as did the floating wood block! After all, the hair tie floated, and the block was much heavier than that! It was a lot of fun to explain density and such and watch them not their heads all, "hmmm, fascinating". I love homeschooling!
We obviously got the watermelon rine from somewhere...today's treat!
Sliced like a FB post I saw a few weeks ago from my friends Tanya. Fun finger food!
Ok, so the day wasn't a total loss, here's hoping the kids are done with this yuck!
