Week 25 Contact

This was my last week going to Tavacci.  I am really sad cause I really liked it.  We learned a lot of fun songs.  My teachers can't teach it anymore though and so I can't go.  But I still get to do my dance class.  We learned about rainbows this week.  We got to put different colors of die into milk and then a drop of dish soap in the middle.  The colors slowly came together and made a rainbow!  It was so cool!!!  Then just a couple days later I saw a real rainbow outside.  My dad said maybe there was a pot of gold at the other end, but it was to far away to go look!

Dancing and acting

You are becoming quite the performer! Do you get a little bit nervous before you sing or act in front of people? Sometimes people actually do better when they feel nervous just a little. I bet your story is done now. Maybe you could take a picture or two of it and post it here on your blog.

Week 24 Contact

This week  I started a dance class!  I even got a new dance outfit.  I also started going to Tavacci where I learn songs and how to act.  It's a lot of fun!!!  In math I am getting really good at writing my fractions.  I also started writing my own story.  It's called The Fairy and the Butterfly.  I even drew pictures.  I'm not done yet, but I think it is going to be really good.

Detective

What a cool experiment! In the picture "B" looks a little different. The other ones seem to match up very closely. I wonder why "B" looks like that? I'm going to have to try this experiment at home with my kids.

Week 23 Contact

I got to celebrate Dr. Suess' birthday this week.  Everything that I did was about Dr. Suess.  Even my math!!!  This is me separating different colored fish and making tally marks.  Then I had to write which color and the most and which had the least.

One of my art projects was to make The Cat in the Hats hat.  I used red and white tissue paper and ripped it up and glued it on to make his hat.

For science I got to make oobleck.  It was REALLY cool!!  It looked like it was liquid, but when you touched it it was actually solid.  

It was REALLY messy, but a lot of fun.  My sister didn't want to do it because it was so messy.  But I liked it!!!

 

Week 22 Contact

This week I am still learning about being a detective in Science.  I learned how you can tell which pen was used to write a note.  I took 3 different markers and wrote on 3 different pieces of paper.

 Then I dipped the paper into the water just a little bit so the water could soak up the paper.

 This is what the different pens looked like when I was done.  My sister and brother tried to be tricky and  went into the other room to write on a piece of paper and see if I could figure out which pen they used.  I  figured it out every time.  Look at all the different colors that are in each black pen.

Good Sailors

Have you ever heard of the Vikings? They were good sailors like the Phoenicians. I wonder if those two groups ever crossed paths? Maybe they lived at different times in history.

I've found that adding to the money I have is a lot more fun than subtracting from it!

Have you ever noticed that when you put your fingers on the sticky side of Scotch or packing tape it really shows your fingerprints well?
