Shared Sonlight Science

The kids have been learning about underwater things.

 

Sonlight science questions. 

 

This last question made me laugh.

Q: Why did God create fish of different colors? 

Aiden's A: To know what kind they are? 

Haha. I had to give him that one.  

 

Aiden got a microscope for a Christmas present. The kids have taken turns examining slides of blood, yeast, fish eggs, fuzz, hair, etc.

Life is Busy!

I don't even know where to start.... Life has been so full. Gemma is now reading without too much encouragement and is ready to start slurring her words together. Aiden is soldiering along, as usual. I think he needs a bit of a challenge soon. He recently complained about his daily stories being too short, and that he wasn't in kindergarten. Keiran is picking up things from the other kids and I can't believe that I will be enrolling him for school soon! He is such a bug lately, but that goes along with being four.... and having a new baby in the house. Finn. Finn is a joy. He is getting worked right into a schedule. He sometimes slows us down, but don't we all need slowing down sometimes anyways. Time to download....
