We've had another fun week here! The theme this week was "Weather". I found "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs" at the library and several books on rain and weather. We spent Monday talking about the water cycle and why it rains. We made did a couple of experiments with this. We made "rain" on the wall of the shower by turning on hot water and coming back a few minutes later to see all the condensation. We made "rain on a spoon" by putting a spoon in the freezer for awhile and then holding it up to steam from a pot of hot water. Then we made "rain in a bag" where he put dirt and grass in a bag, we blew air into the bag and then taped it to the window - that was cool - it was a hot day so the bag had dripping water running down it.
He's doing well with handwriting and reading. We decided to move his lego table into the playroom and try to work in there - the chair is his height and he is not so wiggly. He was pleased to have it look so "official". I will saw we still spend most of the time on the floor of the living room or at the big table - but anything where he has to write, he goes in there to do it.
He also did several art projects with "rain". He painted a picture of "outside" and then (since it wasn't raining) we sprayed a water bottle on the paper and let the paint drip down - this worked better with markers (thanks Aunt Aly!). He also made a picture of clouds and used marshmallows.
