We went outside for school again yesterday. I love learning outside. I feel so much happier and it's so much more fun. We will really miss doing our schooling outside once the weather gets really cold. I think we had a great learning day. We learned about what we should do if a neighbors house is on fire.
We practiced the days of the week by putting these cute free days of the week labels from Teacher Pay Teachers in order and mixing them up again.
We continued learning about our bodies and how they work by reading these cute books we got from the library.

They fit in nicely with our body unit we’re working on.
After reading we worked on this really cute mini lap book from CurrClick The girls loved it.
We finished our day with a fun experiment about how food is digested found in here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1561895016/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
We mixed different foods in glasses of water and hypothesized what food would be “digested” easiest in the water. We mixed it and let it sit while we went to the movies. When we came back we looked at our experiment to see which was “digested” best in the water.
They digested in this order from best to worst:
1) Maple syrup
2) Powered milk
3) Peanut Butter (this one looked really gross!)
We had another great day and I’m looking forward to more!
What did you do for school today?
