A boat of Aiden's creation. 

 

Aiden told me that he was teaching the little kids a Lego class. 

 

Everyone is starting to try and build some Lego things. This is another of Aiden's creations. 

 

Gemma is really into drawing right now. Here is her impression of Keiran- no instruction, just free time.

The experiment...

 

Celery in food coloring. 

 

We chose purple and blue. 

 

Blue leaves!

 

This was the best show of how the water was being absorbed by the celery.

Music:

 

Mom picked up some Boom Whackers, or some tuned percussion tubes. 

The kids made some noise and made up some rhythms. 

Outside school

Science experiments:

 

Collect dirt. 

 

In a jar. 

 

Add water and shake. 

 

Let sit overnight. See the layers?

 

In the science book. 

The kids had fun with this experiment and kept shaking it up and letting it separate again. 

 

Collect yard waste. 

A bag of leaves, apples, etc.

 

The stash. 

 

Decomposing plants. 

 They wanted to separate the parts of their finds...

apples, seeds, pine cones, grass, and berries.
