In Science N. is absolutely loving "Birds of the Air". In fact he gets a little distracted during school looking out the window and identifying different birds. He decided this week to start painting and drawing some birds on his own after school was done. This is huge for him. Here is a Cardinal he painted and I just love it.
He also did a great job on his notebooking page this week.
He finished his last weeks science experiment this week. He put eggs in Vinegar 3 days and it dissolved the shells. He knew this would happen since he had done it before. We talked about the fact that the egg also became swollen due to water passing through the membrane. Then he put the eggs in corn starch for 3 days. He then saw how the water passed back out through the membrane.
For his science experiment this week he and his sister tried catching "flys" (cheerios) with different types of beaks. It was pretty funny to watch.
In History he finished his picture of the Hanging gardens of Babylon. He took 2 days to color it and I was proud of the effort he put into it.
History project was a cookie replica of the statue in Nebuchadnezzars dream. This project was a hit with the entire family. He then used the cookie to talk about the different kingdoms each color represented and how God gave this dream way before some of the kingdoms ever existed.
We finished reading Jonah in storytime and are now reading Esther. Also moved from learning about the Assyrians to reading about Babylon and the Medes and Persians.
Their poetry painting this week was a snowy scene, which was appropriate since we had 2 snow storms this week.
N. said on Friday-what a fun week! He was right. Perfect week to end on before Christmas.
