William's 5th Birthday !!

William turned 5 on November 28th. We had a birthday party for him on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We did it at a playground near our house. It was a nice recently built playground, and it was a beautiful day.  Our friends the Padrons and the Buenrostro's came.  So including our family, there were 11 children. It was perfect.  William wanted a super hero party, so we used red, white and blue colors, and told the guests to come dressed in their super hero costumes. It was a windy cold day, so only William and one other friend were dressed up. Everyone had a great time!!

The most popular place to play at the party was the sand box.

Fun with water colors...

   One of William's favorite books is "White Rabbit's Color Book".  It's about a little white rabbit who finds 3 tubs of paint and dips himself in them and discovers how different colors are made.  He has the book memorized,  but it didn't click with him until we mixed the colors ourselves. We got out the water color paint and painted little splotches on small white cards. Then he smashed the papers together and saw what color was made. It was a great discovery that red and blue actually did make purple, and red and yellow actually did make green. He loved it.

Life Science.....

Here's Alan working on a Lab for his 7th grade Life Science class. The microscope came free from k12 as part of our curriculum materials. Can't beat that!

Painting the classroom windows

Something I remember from my kindergarten class was painting the classroom windows. We had one wall of our classroom that was entirely windows, and we got to paint scenes on them for every season. Now that we have school at home, and in a clasroom with windows everywhere, I thought it would be a lot of fun to have my kids paint our windows!! Here they are painting Halloween scenes.

P.E.

Just 2 blocks away is a little neighborhood playground that we ride our bikes to for P.E. and recess sometimes. It's great to have a place so close to go to for outdoor activities.
