Week 3

For Reading this week, Anna worked on the letter C while Rachael did the "AN" word worksheet. I kind of feel like the worksheets are a cop out, but I guess that's ok once in a while.

We learned about the different parts of plants and what they do. Then we put celery and food dye in water to see how the stems move water to the leaves. We had to wait a day or two to see the results. The blue worked the best, but Rachael had also diluted her red after we set up the experiment.

We made bean mosaics for our art projects. We used navy beans, lentils, and popcorn. Anna liked the different beans. Rachael was more interested in making intricate pictures and patterns. We made sure to have paper towels ready for wiping glue and all went well.

For math day, I had the girls bring 3 toys. We measured the length of each. I then explained how graphs work to help you easily compare information. We graphed the lengths of the toys and then used the graph to figure out which toys were longest, shortest, and in between.
