In School

We started school this week and we have had a blast! B is really enjoying her new books. One of her favorites has been her new Apologia General Science book. She is really LOVING the experiments. Yesterday she did a really neat experiment about density. She took water, vegetable oil, and corn syrup in a large cup. They of course fall into layers. She then took a small rock, grape, cork and an ice cube and dropped them in the cup. They all went on different layers. Today she did an experiment where you take a cup of hot water and put in one jar, a cup of cold water in the other. You then take 3 drops of food coloring and put them in the jars. In the hot jar it mixes up quickly, the cold water the coloring just sits there. She is loving it. She is also enjoying that she is doing stuff all on her own, not including her brother.

D is doing well in school. I think he likes that he gets me to himself a lot more this year. We only do a few things all together. They both love the new math curriculum on the computer.

I am hoping that we all still love our new stuff a few weeks down the road!
