'14/15 Week 33 Days 4 and 5

We finally made it to the store to buy a bag of m&m candy. With so many holidays evolving around sweets, we never buy candy, but end up rationing all the holiday booty. But we needed a bag of candy for Andrew's math assignment. Isn't math sweet?
Andrew had to draw a pictograph of different color candy found in a bag. He thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. He laid out the steps to organizing the data and presenting it as a graph. 
Saara had a sweet science project as well. We have been reading a book about space and the planets in the solar system. We have already reached Venus in our studies, but we backtracked a few lessons and revisited the different phases of the Moon. With Oreo cookies, of course. The kids remembered the activity from a couple of years back and were very excited to do it again. Sweet.

Math. Sorting the candy by color for a pictograph.

Science. After figuring out our crescents and gibbouses, the kids were ready to devour their Moon phases.
