Update on Cutting

 It has been a while since we started our experiment to see if we could take a cutting from a Begonia and have it grow. The conclusion we came to is YES you can grow more Begonia plants form a cutting of a Begonia plant.

Valentine Crafts

Getting ready for this year's day of LOVE!

Each of the kids designed their own Valentine's Day canvas'. We looked on Pinterest for some ideas. Then I let them have free range at the art center. I am always amazed at the final results.

The Big Storm

The Big Storm 

By 

Miss M

Once there was a family that lived in Alaska, were it is cold. The Dads name was Luis, and the Moms name was Annie. The sons name was Jacob, and the little girls name was Zoe. One beautiful evening, Luis and Annie put Jacob and Zoe to bed. In the middle of the night there was a big storm! The wind was blowing so hard it broke branches off of trees. There was thunder, and lightning. When they woke up, they were cold. The storm had destroyed their house. It ripped off the siding, broke most of the windows, and there was a big hole in the roof. They noticed that there house was wrecked. Luis told Jacob and  Zoe to stay home and  try to stay warm, while he and Annie went to find someone to help fix their house. They went and asked lots of people if they could help them, but they were all to busy fixing their own homes. Luis and Annie went home with no one to help them. 

Jacob and Zoe had brought in a stack of fire wood from outside, and built a fire while their parents were gone to keep warm. That night they went to bed not knowing how they were going to fix the house. 

In the morning they heard lost of noise. They woke up, and went outside. They saw twenty people working on there house.The people were wearing yellow vest with hands on them. The helpers were from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Luis and his family were very grateful to have help fixing their home. 

THE END.

2 Clouds the Same?

Question - Do any 2 clouds hold the same amount of water before it rains?

Materials - cotton balls, cup of water, eye dropper, small bowl.Procedure - Have a partner hold a cotton ball over a small bowl as you slowly drop water into it. Count the drops of water you add to the cotton ball before it starts to drip water out the bottom. Repeat with a new dry cotton ball and see it they hold the same amount of water.

Results - No 2 cotton balls held the same amount of water droplets.

Conclusion - No 2 clouds hold the same amount of water vapour before it starts to rain.

Band Weaving

Miss M has jumped on the band weaving wagon. She got a kit this week and is learning very quickly how to make fun friendship bracelets for all her friends.

Pumpkin Pie

For Project Friday this past week , Miss M was given a recipe. She had to double the recipe, and gather all the ingredients accordingly. This task tested her skills in FRACTIONS, and following directions. It also included  home economics/life skills. She did a fabulous job, and they were very delicious.
