Winter came an passes and about half of the Pilgrims had passed away from diseases and poor health. We've talked about germs before during our Five In a Row unit of Madeline; however, I knew T probably didn't remember what we talked about and the Science Exploration activity sounded fun-- so we did it!
We tore up some paper into little pieces and put them into a cup. When I said, "Ah-Choo!" T was to give the cup a good shake. Can you guess what happened?
Next we did it again, but this time when I said "Ah-Choo!" T covered the top of the cup. Thus we learned the importance of covering one's mouth when we sneeze and/or cough! Germs spread!
Working on Geography/ Map skills, T made a rough sketch of Plymouth Fort:
T finished reading 50 stories/ books this week, so we had a little $5 Day. Do you do any sort of reward for reading, good behavior, perfect scores? He's done so well, I thought he deserved a little something. So after completing our History Activity for the day we headed to Target and he got $5 to spend. I did, too ; ) I bought myself a festive coffee drink from Starbucks! (and a cake pop- Yumm!) Well... I actually bought a few other things as well... but we needed it ; ) Can you take a guess at what he picked out?
More Cars. Wish I had thought to take a picture... Next time!
In Language Arts, we learned about Nouns and went on a Noun Hunt in the house! T loved this activity : )
Finally, our week ended with some tie-dye fun! We read John 14:23-31 where it tells us that we will have peace through the Holy Spirit. We cut out a heart from paper towel, folded it, and dipped the corners into food coloring-- so neat! We loved this project!
How is your homeschooling journey going this year! Must remember... it is a journey!!!
