Of course, we had to do the old "flowers in colored water trick," and they enjoyed watching the flowers change colors as they soaked up the water. We also "dissected" some of the stems to get a look inside.
The green turned out the best. |
One LOVES to get her hands dirty, the other can't stand it! |
We took advantage of some Easter candy to help out with some math problems. (Well, Kerri did. Emma Lee insisted that she didn't need anything to "help" but she did enjoy eating them!)
We are also still putting our math towers to good use. I can't believe that they haven't gotten tired of them yet, but they really love them.
In grammar, they learned about common and proper nouns, singular and plural nouns, and seven rules of capitalization. We had fun playing some different learning games (their favorite kind - ones that double up as a snack!) to help us practice these.
They also got in some practice constructing sentences following a certain pattern and then changing some of the words by replacing them with synonyms and antonyms.
I found a wonderful free reading program (sponsored by Sylvan) called Book Adventure. You read a book, take a quiz, and earn points to exchange for prizes. Go check it out! The girls love it!
Hard to believe we only have a few weeks of school left in the year! Summertime, here we come!
