You never know…

You never know who will show up in our classroom…

disguise reporterI thought writing was a good activity for my little reporter.

hatI have no clue what this little man was supposed to be.

He is wearing a Robin costume underneath that camo so maybe the camo is just hiding that.

And yes, I was having a good hair day so I thought it was a good time to take pics with my boys!

dirtyOh, how I love that dirty face.

visitorMixed genres going on here.

him I recognize this little man!

Who do you have show up in your classroom?

I thought when I had boys I would not get the dress up and pretend.

I am so glad I was wrong.

Creation Study ~Day 4 Sun, Moon & Stars

finishedsolarcar trying finishedcarSince we had already studied the properties of light on Day 1, we just made a couple solar powered projects for Day 4.

We read:

“Going around the Sun Some Planetary Fun” by Marianne Collins Berkes

and

“Eight Great Planets” by Laura Purdie Salas

Both are rhyming books and would be great for young children!
We watched The Magic School Bus “Lost in Space”.
My boys have seen all of these before but they seem to get more out of them when we watch them while learning about something in the video.

It is a great visual tool!

It would also be a great time to go to a planetarium!

I also included a few peeks into our other schoolwork.

Hope you have a great week!
