January Learning!

We are so excited! Sam and I have been working with his handwriting! He is now able to identify the entire alphabet by sight and many of them by sound! We are really moving fast! He enjoys playing on Starfall.com and playonthefarm.com. Thanks Terah for those suggestions!

Samuel Loves his science. We have most recently made and flown balloon Rockets! It took several tries to get our rocket all the way to the moon (or the other side of the room) but I am pleased to say that with some persistance and a bit of light headedness on Mommys part, we finally did it! Our Rockets made it to the moon both empty and with a spaceman attached!

Today we found that something really cool happens when you mix wood glue and Borax! We made our own slime! Samuel and Avelynn were patient with Mommy as I misread the directions several times before getting it right! Avelynn wanted her slime to match her clothing so while she enjoys her science she is still a Diva at heart! Samuel is still playing with his slime now 4 hours later! Just in case anyone wants to make their own slime just dissolve 1 tbl of Wood Glue in 1 tbl of water add food coloring to match your clothes (haha) in another container dissolve 1tbl of borax in 1tbl of water. Add the Borax to the glue and mash and mix with your fingers! You will have to play with it a bit to get it to get the best consistancy! Enjoy!

Science is So much fun! Now we are off to dance! Enjoy the Slideshow off to the Side!
