Outside Fun:  We made "boats" and then let them sail down our tinfoil river.  So, if you saw a milk bottle top, it is really a boat.  We took the time to make sails for them, but after a few were capsized, they lost their sails :)  We also had fun with bubbles.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 



 

 
 

Science:

• We put some pinto beans in a glass jar with a little water.  We passed around a pinto bean for everyone to feel.  After the beans soaked for a day or two, we compared them to a dry bean.
• We also enjoyed Babysitting Asher's Gecko!

Cute Sayings:

• "My mom doesn't let me use glue."
• When drawing "B", I suggest that we draw a straight line, a big head, and then a big belly.  One kiddo then said, "My daddy has a big belly!"  The funny thing is...I know the dad, and he doesn't :)
