It's a WINDY day

As part of our weather Unit K made a windsock

He drew his family to decorate his socket and added streamers to the end to fly in the wind

 Here he is flying the kite he made in his homeschool art class.  He was so excited about this kite esp. since he made it ALL BY HIM SELF

Here's his windsock blowing in the wind.  Since it's made with paper we have it hanging in the house for all of the family to enjoy.


Such a Great Spring day in Florida.

Weather Unit

This week we studied about the weather and the effects the weather has on the earth.

We learned about the water cycle, tornado's/hurricanes, clouds, rain, the sun.

Here is a few of the crafts that we did through out the week

Look at these Cupcake earths we made for this week.  We had fun making them and of course eating them :o)

 My son who normally HATES to color took his time and colored the whole picture.  He was so proud of his work and so was his mama

We got to go over the names of the clouds this week so of course I had to put up the charts from earlier in the year.

Books we used:
Lightning it's electrifying By All Aboard science readers
Wonderful Weather ( we did a handful of the Experiments lots of FUN)
Weather  By Smithsonian
The cloud book By Tomie de Paola
Flash Crash Rumble and Roll By Lets read and find out science series
Weather (great everything book) By Caroline Harris
Wind By Acorn

I had found a great video on the water cycle but I forgot to write it down..Oops
