Homeschool: Week 3

Last week, we talked about the letter M and did a little study on the moon.

We had oreos one day as a snack, with the moon phases.

Another day we made "moon cake". i found the recipe on a blog about MFW curriculum. (get the recipe here). It's weird... you put the dry ingredients in a pan, then make craters and add eggs, vanilla, milk, baking soda, etc, in the craters. 

Then you dump in vinegar and watch the reaction. 

The kids loved that part.

After I mixed it up, the kids added "moon rocks" (aka raisins)

And then we baked it and enjoyed. It had a strange flavor - not bad, just weird. 

But the kids had fun making it! And no, we don't have 4 kids now. We just had a friend over that day, watching him for his mother.

We read books about the moon and then made a space ship.

We attempted space hats... but that just ended up looking silly ;)

Once on the moon, we "floated" around the room and then enjoyed a snack of astronaut ice cream.

Then it was back to earth, bye bye moon! 

Music starts with M, too. In case you didn't know ;)

So we made a toy guitar together one day.

Everyone had fun with that, and they were good sharers!

We played with some musical instruments as we sang songs, too.

Not everyone shared well that day.... but some days go better than others ;)

Here's a little video of the kids and their cereal box guitar. Faith loves making up her own songs and when it was apparent that's what she was up to, the video camera came out ;) Enjoy!
