1st week of vacation (theme: play)

Let the fun begin! Today, we kick off our first week of vacation. J says the theme for this week is "play".

The day started with "science"... talking about how the balloon is loosing its air, and is coming down and down, and finally, it just lands on the floor right before our eyes. J drew the face on the pink balloon days ago.

Then we explored fractions using cuisinaire rods since we read a bible story related to tithing 10%. Later, I showed them the Geo boards I brought in Florida and that was a big hit with the kids.

For lunch, J made scrambled egg all by herself. She cracked the eggs, whip the eggs, poured into the frying pan, turned on the fire, put in oil, stir-fried the egg and even scooped the egg out into a bowl all by herself.

The kids also had a play date with their friends in the afternoon. We even shared a dinner together. It was a very full and fun day.

Having fun with the descending balloon.
