Week 22 - Exploding bags and Mardi Gras (through Week 24!!)

I don't have any pictures from our last week which ended with a sick Livi and a visit from Nanee and we've ventured into Mardi Gras territory, but last week before the festivities began we tried our exploding bags and finally had success! 

 And it begins….

Week 21 - quick catchup

Shark dissection at the Audubon zoo (which honestly had the mom's more interested than the kids…)

all a little unsure about the experience…and the smell

Science we talked about weather, including a refresher on the water cycle, clouds and then storms. Great non-fiction book in our collection talking about different storms. And of course a magic school bus! We tried to make a tornado in a jar, but it was one of our less exciting experiments.

shaving cream and dye to show clouds and run formation

 More Ancient Egypt fun, including a hieroglyphic letter to Grandad, a cuneiform golden tablet, and falcon canonic jar, and a mine craft pyramid!

math and english are moving right along with decimals and non-fiction texts

Week 20

Trying to play catch up before Mardi Gras kicks in and I can't keep track of anything!

Science - land changes
volcanes, earthquakes…lots of cool video footage out there on youtube!

Social studies - introduced Ancient Egypt, pharaohs, and of course mummies!

math - measurement

ELA - barton, plus non fiction text structures

We ended the week at Sector 6, a new trampoline park with his friend Wyatt. Oscar loved it (he's racing up the trampoline in the distance)
