This week we continued with our study of Colonial America and Native Americans. The kids continued on with their unit celebration projects. Goosey built a teepee which she made by tying 6 dowels together at the top and then took half a circle of fabric and placed it around the dowels. She still needs to add final touches on there by decorating the fabric piece and then she'll glue the top of the fabric onto the top of the dowels so it will stay in place. This week we worked on more science experiments. We have seen the ivory soap bar in the microwave experiment all around the internet and we finally bought the soap to try it! We placed half a bar in the microwave for about 30 seconds and this was the result.... After it cooled off, Goosey said it felt like a paper towel almost. It was a successful experiment that we ended up doing it twice! :oP For geography we followed one of the creative activities from Map Travelers and researched how chocolate was made since one of Ghana's exports is cocoa. Speedy found this really neat site from Hersheys that shows the process. My kids will tell you the best part of this assignment was sampling some chocolates!
