Squeezing Rainbows | Zaidan

Science
We were scientists this week and saw the chemical reaction betwen baking soda and vinegar.



We have a kiddo who has a fascination with rockets--should we try and construct a rocket and see if we can launch it? =)

We also "squeezed rainbows". The children enjoyed spooning the colors into their ziploc bag, then squeezing this cool bag of colors. They discovered how the colors mix together, and also explored with this on the light table. I noticed Sophia found this activity to be soothing and calming.

Art Exploration
We extended our chalk pastel exploration this week by adding another medium--watercolor paint. The children saw how their chalk pastels became more saturated with the watercolors.





Here, G opted to continue with the chalk pastels by adding warm colors to her paper.



Practical Life
Mia helping sweep the patio.
The children anxiously await their turn to use the broom. Seriously.



Music and Spanish
We are learning a new song in Spanish called El Burrito Enfermo, with José-Luis Orozco. You can hear a clip HERE, just scroll down and click on the song title.



Other Snippets



We read the Carrot Seed. Since our garden needed to be replanted because of the hail storm, we're hoping that our carrots come up just like in the book!



We have a new member joining the Terra Luz family.
Lulu's "mother-hen" instincts came right out and she took him under her wing.
