Break!

We have been on a little break from school. Visit the family blog to see our adventures with basketball, being thankful, cutting down trees and a silly little elf.

Dewberry Farms Field Trip

Field trip to Dewberry Farms was a good day. It was windy but other wise the weather was good. He got to play with some friends and do some fun activites. I always enjoy talking with the other homeschool moms and watching him have a good time with buddies.

Black Bloom of Doom

This was a halloween science experiment that he did with some friends. It was to see how the flower takes up water and if it would change color or not. Now, ours did not turn black but sure did turn a nice shade of green. Thanks friend for doing this avtivity with him.

Water Pollution and Birds

We have been studying birds in school. In this experiment we discussed detergents in water and the effects on water birds. Turns out the birds will sink because the oils on their feathers will dissolve with detergent pollution and their feathers will become heavy and then they will sink.

Field Trip

Today we went to the Houston Arboretum with our Co-op group. It was our first visit and I loved it! It is like a forest right in the middle of the city. We went on a nature scavenger hunt then a picnic in the park. The kids got cards with nature things on them like a spider and web. A squirrel etc.

The group

M said "I have a secret for you"
New friends. I call him names from bubba, bub, buddy, bud...M decided to call him Bud. It was pretty cute. Then I told her that sometimes I call him Little love and she got a kick out of that and called him little love while they chased each other in a circle.

Poem

We have a new poem every few weeks that we memorize. Today I wrote the poem WORK on the board. We read it then later in the day I hear a giggle coming from the school area. I go to check it out and He had changed letters in words to make new words. I said what is so funny and he said "look! Doo doo."

What is Yeast?

We had an experiment today about what is yeast and how it eats sugar and produces carbon dioxide.




Then I remembered how cool it was to mix vinegar and baking soda so we did that too.

and compared the balloons.
