Thursday Three

Here are three "things" on Thursday:

1.  Dominoes.
I received a set of Mayan Dominoes from a student today.  (No directions, so I'm not sure how to play!) But Cannon thought those were cool and played with them in the morning before school. When we got home, he played with them some more and then borrowed Auntie Brenda's domino set tonight.  He's enjoying looking at the pieces, stacking them, cleaning them up and then dumping them out of the container again.



2.  Colson's Bath.
Colson has not been enjoying baths, however the last few nights he has started to like them again....after a few minutes of screaming.  After he finishes crying, he starts to play and loves the toys, loves to splash and loves to laugh.  Now, he actually cries when I take him out!  I can't win!


3.  Science.
We are in the middle of a science unit on air.  The first graders are loving it, learning a lot about air and enjoying the experiments.  Yesterday we explored bubbles.  After making bubbles by blowing into a straw that was placed in a cup of water, they realized the bubbles, created by air, would pop just as quickly as they created them.  Enter the soap.  We sure did create a lot of bubbles!  The kids learned that the soap film traps the air, making a bubble.  So fun!


Enjoying every moment!
