Science Time!

 

A couple of months ago I started Science Journals with the girls. They have math and literacy journals that they enjoy so I decided to create a science one to put all of our science related learning.

 

I gave Finley this little assessment and she enjoyed it. We talked through it together and she wrote the beginning letters of each word.

 

 

 

My girls love picking flowers so on this day I had them draw their flowers (with a little help) and write a sentence about it. Rowynn told me about hers and I wrote it down for her.

They love to plant and Finley had been asking to plant some seeds in dirt...we do this every year and she loves digging in the soil. Their Mommy has a black thumb....seriously, I can't grow anything (except babies) but I love flowers and love letting my girlies get dirty!

I think it is so important to have a house full of mixed media for my kids to explore. We have a TON of books in this house, but I also want access to magazines, newspapers, restaurant menus, brochures, etc. My parents got the girls a subscription to Highlights a couple of years ago and recently we got a subscription to Ranger Rick Jr based on a friend's blog post.

The girls are enjoying their subscription to Ranger Rick Jr. and learning about different animals.

Here they are "flying" backwards just like the hummingbirds in our magazine.

 

This girl LOVES animals!

We counted the zebras and then practiced counting by twos to count their legs.

One of the issues talked about Rhinos so I had Finley draw one and write a sentence about it. She wrote the word Rhino and a "L" for like, "T" for to, and "E" for eat.
