Monday, January 4: The Eleventh Day of Christmas

The dawn of a new day brought us new adventures... this time with lenses...and mirrors... and prisms with rainbows.

Lots of self discovery...

learning terms such as concave, convex...and transparent, translucent and opaque...

and sharing discoveries.

We looked at a drop of water in a whole new way. We read about the planet Mercury with its hot and cold sides.

We saw it had a lot of craters, which we remembered meant that there was little atmosphere to burn them up like the Earth has.

We read about the Canaanites and the Philistines...

and Quentin wanted to draw the Philistine soldiers...

because he noticed that the helmets looked a bit like Viking helmets with thinner horns.

After lunch, we got in the car... and headed to the library... to restock our supply of reading material.
