| Snapshot Summary, February 27-March 2 |
It is hard for me to believe, but we have been sick almost the entire month of February...colds, bronchitis, walking pneumonia. We have gone through another week and we are still not well. Through it all, we get a bit of school work done when we are feeling up to it. This week...
we made the classic potato battery to power a LCD watch...
and a battery from water to power a tiny light...
and a lemon battery to power a sound chip...
and for James' "final exam," he had to make a battery from an apple. He put it together correctly and chose to use the sound chip. We experimented with listening to the sound chip without an amplifier and then with a paper cup as an amplifier. This will bridge us to our little unit on sound.
We practiced recognizing and matching fractions with Fraction Jugglers.
We reviewed multiplication and finding area on the geoboard...
which led to us exploring multiplication of fractions on the geoboard.
We painted our salt dough map of the US that we made last week.
The set of Imagination Station books that I won in a give-away at Finding Joy arrived on Tuesday, which was a nice bright spot.
Katie made homemade spring rolls using the cellophane noodle egg roll wrappers Steven found at the Natural Food store. They are made out of rice instead of wheat so she can eat them. She was thrilled to be able to try spring rolls for the first time. What surprised us the most is that Alex loved them! Yes, Alex, who normally doesn't eat vegetables much at all, ate four of these!
