Soap Experiment

Today we tried an experiment we found on Pinterest ( I love this site ) We used Ivory soap and had a blast watching the kids expressions. After the experiment they all wrote down some things about how if changed in color, shape, size, and texture. I think next time I am going to try to find some things to do with the now blown up soap.

Raain Rain go away

Today we went over for our weekly visit at Mrs. Kelly's house. The kids love visiting with Mrs. Kelly. She always has a cool game, experiment, or some activity for the kids to do. Today was not different than any other day. Today we watched a tutorial video on how to make rain catchers and how you have to chose the right one to measure the rain.

The best part was when we gathered all the kids with a tray full of different containers and headed to the shower.

Two of the kids got in the back part of the shower

 while the other three watched from outside.

 Mrs. Kelly had a shower head that was attached to a hose so she was in control of that.

Right as she was turning on the water I began to say(but did not get out in time) that she should make sure she has the overhead head turned off and only have the hose on. Just then she was getting a nice cold shower. I was laughing so hard I was unable to get a picture at the right moment but I did get the aftermath.......

After all the fun in the shower we headed to the table to measure our water.

Co-Op

Time to make a decision. Today the kids and I went to a co-op kick off meeting. I have been very slow to go to these because you end up go go going all the time and then you begin to wonder where does the time go to do actual lessons. Plus most co-op are VERY strict. If you can't be at all the events then they kick you out. Well when you have 4 kids and everything they do costs money go ahead and just count me out. I can not afford to spend that much money.

I feel very good about this group. They meet every Wednesday but it sounds like they actually teach something so that makes me excited. They also do field trips but they are CHEAP.

Anyways today was nothing but an information meeting and I am looking forward to see what happens next.

I gave Hannah my camera to keep her occupied and this is what we got:)
