Leaves.....

This was a cute little way to further emphasize the letter L to them.

They went out front and picked up leaves and glued them to the L.

Lava Experiment

Today we are busy, busy, busy. NO TIME TO BE BORED!

Julian and A watched a couple of videos on YouTube of volcano's spewing Lava and their interest was peaked. So I decided to go forward with the science experiment. Thanks Brandy for the instructions.

So while A took a nap, Julian made the volcano part of it.

Ms. C making her own little volcano :)

Before they poured the "lava" we talked about how when Lave is very hot it flows faster and when it is cold it flows very slowly. I demonstrated this by pouring hot and cold syrup onto an inclined plate. They guessed which one was flowing faster.

Between the two of them, they decided Jules would pour the lava......

The eruption of Mt. Hillside!! LOL. They both jumped up and cleared the table. They weren't expecting the eruption like that.

Then, they discussed what happened and how cool it was.

L is for Laterns

Today, we painted Laterns as our Ll craft. They did really good and it kept them occupied longer than I thought it would. They are real working laterns that can be hung up in their rooms and lit with batteries.

Today was also C's first day.

She is so sweet and such a fun baby.

C made her own latern and got her hands in a little pink paint.

Their finished product.

Letter of the week - Ll

This week is Letter Ll. We started by going over the sound of the letter and some words that start with Ll.

Then Jules and A practiced making L's and A did very good. Jules is getting better at writing his name.

Then, we talked about Ladybugs and they made a craft which they both loved!

Their finished product!

We went to the library and check out some Ll books that we will read this entire week. The best part of the day was when we were swimming and we found a ladybug in the water. They were freaking out that they saw a REAL ladybug.
