What an amazing setting! I love this pic!
“How to Build a Rocket”
On a whim (the place from which all good things come) I got the book “How to Build a Rocket” by Hazel Richardson from our local library.
I love it!
It is not just about how to build a rocket, it has a lot of information about the moon and experiments to go along with the lessons.
I am seriously considering buying this one.
The first thing it had us do was go in a dark room with a flashlight and a tennis ball (or baseball).
You have your child hold the ball out in front of them and shine the light on the ball.
This helps them understand why there are different phases of the moon.
It also helped mine remember that the moon was just reflecting light from the sun.
“He’s got the whole moon in his hands, he’s got the whole moon in his hands…”
I am odd.
Next we took a ball and string and then spun around while holding it.
This demonstrated the earth’s gravitational pull and it’s effect on the moon.
School is just so much work.
Watch out here comes the moon!
We are only a couple chapters in.
This book definitely gets my vote though!
We had a pretty Super New Years Eve
The boys got superhero costumes from my parents for Christmas.
Since we did not see them this year they opened their gifts from them on New Years Eve.
Cutest Batman ever.
The only right way to look at his Superman belt.
He wore that whole outfit into Walmart today.
Yes, he lifted his shirt to show everyone his belt.
EVERYONE…
Their Uncle helped them with the flying part.
My youngest was not sure about the fighting.
This time.
He is usually all for it.
Superhero’s jump over stuff a lot.
Wagon rides take on a whole new meaning when Uncle Charles is giving them.
My oldest has decided that he needs to wear this every time we go to Walmart.
