School is back and in session around here. The Workbox drawers are working SO well. I love that the kids know when their schoolwork is done- when the last drawer is done- so are they. I LOVE that it gives my "mover and shaker" Doodle a chance to get up in between each subject (as he has to walk into the other room, and return 1 drawer and get the next one) Ok- walk isn't the correct word there---- he usually sommersaults, cartwheels, runs, jumps, skips, and does all sorts of tricks on his way in there. Anyhow- here's a few fun things we've had in the school drawers lately.
Doodle and Roo both love the geomags. They are such fun to build with!- and they love to take pictures of their creations afterwards.First off- Doodle got this awesome Chemistry kit from my grandma for Christmas (Thanks grandma- he loves it!) And so we've done lots of Chemistry lately. Lots of solids, liquids and gas experiments. One of them that he was especially excited about was making candles. We melted the wax and turned a solid into a liquid, then made a candle out of it- making it a solid again, then burned the candle.
One of Roo's favorite school things is pattern blocks- he likes to make "bridges" across the cookie sheet with them.
For math last week- Doodle was learning all about graphs and reading graphs. So we learned about Venn diagrams and pulled out the animals to play games with the graph. This graph was 4 legs and eats meat.
