Today began our week's focus on constellations
We began the morning with some math work & some writing....practicing writing and recognizing upper & lower case B's
Then we moved onto looking at some books of constellations; looking on-line at pictures of constellations; we talked about how the groups of stars look like pictures when we "connect the dots"
Marie-Therese then sat and made her own constellation that she called "Flag Star". She decided to make her stars blue after we listened to a song that told us the different colors that stars can be (all determined by their temperature)
By this time it was mid-morning and the heat was unbearable "it's making my brain too hot to think Momma" so we cleaned up & retreated upstairs for a bit where she played with Lego's until lunch time
Then her cousin stopped by for a visit....they invented & built a machine that moves things; they sorted buttons & then decided to make "glow in the dark cupcakes" with them. They weren't able to finish the "cupcakes" before it was time for J to go home.
The rest of the afternoon was spent watching a few shows & reading together. After supper it was cool enough to run around for an hour or so outside (naked pretty much so no pictures!); she played tag, did some acrobatic moves, watered the garden and ran through the sprinkler.
After baths & clean up we read more of our nightly read a-loud "Mr. Poppers Penguins"....we will finish it tomorrow night!
