Friday Summary

We've had a pretty nice week as far as school goes. My kids are all paired up for research projects. Kelsea-Joshua (working on crystals and other gems) and Zerrick-Ishmael (learning about black widows). I work with my 4yo who always chooses dinosaurs. This time I made him choose a type of Dinosaur (one we've never learned much about before) he chose stegosaurus.I figure we'll have gone through several different species before he's done with this stage. It's been a good way to get them more familiar with the non-fiction section in the library. Jeremiah knows right where to go get his dinosaur books anyway

.

I have some materials to pick up this weekend for science experiments. Some are related to their research projects and some are not. I love doing the experiments together. It's better than baking cookies ;-).

We are doing great in our other subjects as well.

Amanda - Are you following a curriculum for science? Do you have any good books of experiments to recommend?

We will be doing mom&dad science this coming year - i.e. whatever mom & dad come up with!

p.s. This look seems more like you...

I'm finding alot of books with experiments at the library. Ishmael found a book of experiments with bugs and spiders. Not actually involving touching the spiders but making your own web-type stuff.

Oh what a shame we had a nice BIG dead spider we were trying to identify..if'd known we could have let you have it :0) It sat in a jar by hte computer spooking me out for a few weeks until I gave up idenifying it and sent it to the land fill!
So excited to have found your blog :0)
