We bought this solar house science kit from a little educational store in Lancaster over a year ago. It's amazing. It comes with a 100 page manual and more than 70 different experiments with solar energy that we have been working our way through for science class every morning.
Thermometer measuring the temperature inside the solar greenhouse (in front) at 2 minute intervals.
We started doing a little Meet the Masters art class co-op with 2 other families that do swimming lessons with us. It's been lovely so far.
Our first week we learned about Henri Rousseau and did this water color crayon project.
Our second week we studied Edward Hopper and made these sailboat landscapes.
This week we learned about Maria Martinez and practiced making Native American style clay pots.
Some of my little artists deviated from the "Native American" style significantly...
We've been doing our "no grocery shopping" -- use only what we have on hand challenge since January 1. It has led to even more kids baking projects than usual. Big sister A has been making a series of baking videos as well.
We had a bushel of oranges that needed to be used and made a bunch of freshly squeezed orange juice and orange zest. We mixed some of it with a jar of canned peaches and made yummy fruit popsicles.
The kids were all invited to a big birthday party with their friends at Urban Air Friday evening. They exhausted themselves jumping around for 3 hours.
Baby A loved it all, but especially the ball pit under the ninja warrior course.
Miss L took baby A on this steep slide with her over and over again.
There was a high wall above the trampolines in one area. They loved bouncing up and down off the wall. It gave a whole new meaning to the phrase "kids bouncing off the walls" :)
