Today Noel went to Joy School and Amy did fun things with Grammy so I didn't worry too much if we didn't do EVERYTHING at school. Amy and Grammy went on a bike ride and asked a man who was flying a little plane how it worked (Amy's idea). Grammy said they had an aerodynamics lesson. Cool. Later they all three played Sorry! The girls are getting better and better at their counting and the one to one relationship between the numbers and the squares on the Sorry board.
We still started with opening routine. We listened to a CD of patriotic songs for our America moment.
Then we set up a tomato experiment. We had a huge harvest of tomatoes this year. A couple weeks ago we got nervous that they were going to freeze so we picked them all. My parents had learned from my grandma that you can wrap green tomatoes in newspaper and they will still ripen. So we did it.
Today we went through all the tomatoes (a diaper box FULL that two weeks ago were all green). We got out the red ones, the mostly red ones, the mostly green ones, and the all the way green ones and sorted them. Then we made hypotheses about where/ how the tomatoes would ripen the best. We left some wrapped in paper, left some out on the counter, put some on a windowsill to get sun, and put some in the fridge. We'll observe as time goes on how our tomatoes are doing. The girls were semi-interested, not very. Noel helped a bit but got distracted. Amy didn't want us to do the experiment at all out of fear that the tomatoes not wrapped in newspaper would go bad.
We read Cinderella and finished school.
The girls are now doing their activities while I rest a little. They're bike riding. Amy can't get enough. :) Grateful for sunshine.
