Week 6

This past week of school was pretty busy.  I tried to schedule a lot of work bc we have been and will continue to be so busy!!  

Nathan continued his moon unit.  This was an activity on the moon's surface:

And this was the moon cake.  We made a large, medium, and small crater and filled them with different ingredients.  The vinegar/baking soda mix was a fun bubbly surprise.  :)

He also made a mobile with the sun on one side and moon on the other:

The big kids checked out chicken bones in science.  My counter has a couple jars of chicken bones that we are experimenting on.  :)

Samuel and Hunter started the Barton reading program.  So far, I'm loving it.  Hunter has done really well and I think the home visit will go great.  Samuel has mainly been positive about it but he was getting pretty frustrated one day so I'll be slowing it down and taking longer to go over sounds. Our Barton instructor tells us that it's not about our child understanding our teaching, it's us understanding how to teach it so the child understands.   

We did take half a day to see a movie!!  Samuel brought his zombie to the theater to 
enjoy the movie, too.
