But for today's experiment, the kids put on a "puppet" show using magnets, paper dolls and a shoebox.
I also worked with Connor on sentences today, helping him to understand that capital letters are special. You don't have to use them with every word :)
For Spanish we played a memory/matching game. He's doing really well with his colors.
For social studies, we are still practicing our "United States" song and learning where all of the states in the United States are. Our goal is to have the song memorized by the time my mom comes into town on Saturday so that the kids can sing it to her. I can't wait to post the video of that one!
Another SUPER cool thing we got to look at today was a hornet's nest that Jason pulled out of our bird feeder. What was particularly awesome about it was that it still had the larvae inside. So, too bad for the larvae, but we enjoyed dissecting it! Check out our pictures...
If you look closely at the larva in the middle, you can see the eyes are already formed. It was the one that looked the most like a hornet.
In this picture, you can actually see the various stages of larvae. The two on the bottom are much less developed than the ones above them. The one at the very top had two eyes forming. You can already see the body formation in the upper right larva. Close up, you could see its wings starting to form along with little legs. All in all, pretty cool!
