Home days...

When we have home days, which over the past week or two have been many (yeah!), the girls often ask for multiple activities over the course of the day. Most of them involve extensive preparation like experiments, specific baking choices, intricate crafts etc. etc.

I order to keep on top of this, we have a new system where the girls can write down each evening (handwriting practice!) :) one thing that they would like to do as a group the next day. This way, I can always say yes, and still feel like I have time to prepare it with out being expected to produce said item immediately!

This has launched us into a science focus, at least for the past couple of days.

Here are pics from our explorations with density!




We are accumulating their results in their science binders, along with pictures of them doing the experiment. The girls are loving going though the binders and seeing their efforts laid out before them!
