Wee Explore Alabama

Amazingly enough I have managed to snap a few pictures of our lessons on Alabama and Space!! We have officially wrapped up our ice skating lessons, we have 12 weeks left of Kindergarten (so I am in the trenches of planning next year), we are loving our AHG group, and there are 4 weeks left of our homeschool enrichment co-op. I can feel Spring coming!!! Whoohooo for an end insight to this lovely, cold, snowy winter!!

 Pumpkin has really taken a liking to coloring so completing her Yellow Hammer was truly a work of art. It came out beautifully. Boo liked mostly playing with the glue of coarse but she did participate. Did you know that the Yellow Hammer eats MORE ants than any other American bird?

 
We reviewed our 5 Senses and learned about Helen Keller. We played a game of “Put the Moon in Space” this was a great way to have fun with our corresponding space unit. Pumpkin and Boo both enjoyed being blindfolded and loved getting around relying on their other senses.

Sugar Cube Igloo
I mixed 1egg white with 11/4 c. powder sugar for the ‘glue’
1 Box of sugar cubes (I bought ours at Meijer)
Draw a circle on a piece of cardboard and start building!!
Super Easy!! And Tons of Fun!!

What were Igloo’s used for?

You can tell by the pictures that my girls were in deep thought during this project. However, they both did lose interest by the end (it took an hour). The initial few layers go quickly, but the taller the Igloo gets the longer you have to let it set to dry: this helps prevent an obvious collapse from occurring during construction. We took advantage of the drying time by reading stories about Igloos, the Northern Lights, and the Iditarod!!
