'13/14 Week 32 Day 2

It was good to see the kids have such a blast the entire school day. In the morning, we read the story about Jesus calming the storm. Of course, we had to build a 'boat' of our own with 'real' wind and all. Later, the 'boat' became a pirate ship and even a plane.

Andrew's science lesson was about the history of hot-air and helium balloons. At the end of the class, I just had to fill some balloons with helium and let them play. They carried the balloons around their wrists till the end of the school day. And longer.

Outside, Dad was greeted back home with a demonstration of the battle of 'Watermelon'. Andrew knows the right name for last Napoleonic war, but likes to call it by the funny name. 

A good day. Now, we are getting ready for the baseball games tonight.

Bible. Our 'boat' with 'Jesus' sleeping and the disciples in dare peril.


Science. After watching a short movie on the history of hot-air balloons, Andrew was able to explain how both types of balloons (helium filled and hot-air) are able to rise.


LA. Some serious work amidst all the fun. Saara learning to classify/categorize/group.
