This past week was Kat's first official week of summer.
I love summer for the following reasons:
sleeping in,
not having to pick Kat up in 110 degree weather,
being able to go do fun things with the girls,
swimming whenever we want.
I dislike summer for the following reasons:
girls getting bored,
girls fighting,
girls complaining about 'nothing to do'
the fact that everything Kat just learned is slowly slipping away with every hour of tv she sits around watching!
So, we are having a theme each week to keep us bust, occupied, and learning!
This week's theme was SCIENCE!
Here are some highlights from our week:
First we made Sensory Bottles.
The girls love shaking their bottles and seeing what happens!
I made little 'journals' for the girls to keep track of all of our experiments and activities.
On Tuesday we went for a "Senses Walk" and talked about our 5 senses and what we are grateful for.
We also made Rock Candy!
On Wednesday we made GOO!
I had the girls experiment with different textures and mixes.
Emma wouldn't touch any of it. She stirred it all with a spoon. At least, that's how it was until we made homemade play dough!
Then she was super happy!
Thursday we painted lots of pretty pictures!
On Friday we experimented with Jell-o and Pizza!
Jello Volcanoes!
We made pizza dough from scratch (shocking! I know!)
Em thought that the yeast stunk!
The girls had fun playing with the dough and pounding it out.
It was a fun and productive week! I think the girls had fun and learned a little about science!
