Wed K science and history

Science - We learned about nocturnal animals and read Stellaluna - a bat story. We checked out a website that talked about different animals eyes at night. The lesson tied in the 5 senses and how different animals use different senses to help them out at night.

History- We went to Brazil, talked about the border and coastline, how big the country is, that the people live along the coast line, but how it's hard to find a port because of all the rocks. We listened to Samba music, talked about rubber, oranges, coffee, and sugar. (Rachelle- I think I've heard this before, but Ella confessed to sneaking sugar early in the morning when she first woke up :) . We juice some limes (supposed to be oranges). Quinn tasted a bit, and needed water right away. He said it hurt his neck :), Ella knew she didn't want to try. I added sugar and water, but quite sour for me. Of course my kids drank it right down.
Ranae, we colored another suitcase half - they said they already did one, but we had plenty of time, so we did the other one too.

Thanks for all the great photos. I enjoy seeing what I don't get to other days.

Ranae, the clarinet was my instrument of choice from 5th -12th grade. I tried to continue in college, but wasn't great at it, so I couldn't put it as a priority anymore. I should pull it out and see if I can still make music with it.
