Science and History

Another good day. Ilaiza left Harrison alone today and he did great at paying attention!
The others were a little antsy pantsy during history and I just reminded them of the point system coming next week.

History - continued review of continents and ocean, N and S pole and equator. They are really remembering them all again! We introduced how history is a story of the past and can use letters, pictures and other items to tell the story.

Science - lessons were on measuring liquids in mL and temperature in Celsius degrees. They had fun with the measuring water of different containers. We didn't get to the last work sheet, but I explained how to do it (it's connected to the one where we measured the temperature of four things).

They seem to enjoy working together as teams. I'll have to switch them around so they get to have different partners. They like the idea of getting "lab coats" like real scientists, and like the "one on Curious George"
