'13/14 Week 38 Day 2

The highlight of the day was Saara's science class. She was learning about the power of the wind, and how people can use it. They played with the wind winch, one of the experiments, until bedtime.  
In math, Andrew started learning about thermometers and how to read them. Saara is almost done with her math program. Wow!

Science. Our balloon rocket. We stretched the track from one end of the house to the other and made the balloon shoot straight across powered only by air.

Making the wind winch work turned out to be the children's favorite activity until bedtime.

Andrew and Saara were offered a golden opportunity to feed turkeys and chickens, gather their eggs, take care of a dog and a cat for two weeks. They loved it. Today, we feed our charges the last time, and the children were genuinely sad. Makes me want to build our own chicken coop. One day, why not.
