We had sort of a low-key learning day today. Of course, I say that, but I'm pretty sure Connor wouldn't say the same thing. He worked really hard today on breaking down wholes twice. Poor guy. It really is a pretty difficult concept for him. So I introduced the "thinking cap" to him. Now he asks to wear it every time I ask him a question.
So here he is trying to break down whole numbers:
Can't you tell just how excited he was to do this exercise :) I'm telling you...pure torture! Later in the day I had him practice a couple more and he got them. He is such a smart kid!
The library had a "Motion Commotion" activity today. It's really more for Amelia's age group, but Connor partially participated. Here's Amelia doing "I'm a Little Teapot."
After viewing our attempts at the parachute experiment, my sister suggested that we launch them off of our staircase. This worked SO much better! We talked about gravity some more and experiment with throwing the dough off the staircase without the parachute. Boy did it flatten!
We ended the day with some painting. They are becoming quite the little artists!
