Drew & Kate balanced the "ark of the covenant" (beanbag) on their shoulders as they crossed the river that God parted. It was Kate's activity from yesterday that we didn't do until today due to running a few errands yesterday afternoon. ;o)
Kate walking 7x around the city of Jericho (dining room table)...
Drew's learning about MEASUREMENT! Singapore uses meters/centimeters but I had Drew learn about a yard today instead. He had to estimate and then measure the couch. He was close...estimate: 2 yards. Actual measurement: 2 1/3 yards.
He also estimated the length of the dining room: 3 yards and measured it: 3 2/3 yards.
For science today he created a replica of the ocean shelf, slide and floor using oatmeal clay (1 c. oats, 1/2 c. flour & 1/2 water). He made the clay by himself...
Stirred it for awhile until he asked me to take over because I "stir faster" ~ ha!
Then shaped the sea level (against the top of the bowl), the shelf below that, the slide down to the ocean floor. He realized the neat "glow" fish he read about a few months ago live in on the ocean floor - darkest, deepest place in the ocean. :o)
We then poured water over the model to show how it really is...we see the water at the beach, not what's really underneath...but it's there! ;o)
