Yikes! Sorry that we haven't been keeping up with the blog recently! I imagine that's not going to get a whole lot better while we're waiting on our little brother to join us, but we'll try!
Q week was actually 2 weeks ago. We did all kinds of activities with birds. We learned about the number 3 and covered one with colourful "feathers."
We pretended that we were birds and used "beaks" to pick up "worms" to put in the nest.
We experimented to figure out which shape made the best nest... a plate or a bowl? The bowl shape definitely held the eggs better, which is important!
We read about chickens and then made a picture of their life cycle.
We painted with q-tips in while we practiced recognising numbers.
We turned our Q into a beautiful queen!
We also had a little fall fun with pumpkins. We predicted that they would sink in a sink filled with water, but they actually floated!
We cut one open to get all of the stuff out of the inside, and our faces in this picture show exactly how both of us felt about that. It was not our favourite activity of the week.
We liked the next part much better... I poured a bit of baking soda in the pumpkin,
And Riley Cates poured in some vinegar. Ta-da! Pumpkin-cano!
Then we wanted to paint our baby pumpkins,
So we got to work on our masterpieces!
We forgot to take a work wall picture this week, which is too bad because our chicken life cycle pictures turned out so cute!
