I love when simple science experiments are hugely successful!

This is Charles' Law - increase the temperature of a gas and it's volume increases, decrease the temperature of a gas and its volume decreases.  We dipped the top of this empty bottle in bubble solution and then dipped the bottom of the bottle in hot water.  Instantly, bubbles formed.  When we then dipped it into the ice water, the bubbles retracted.  The kids took turns going back and forth and back and forth.  Science is cool or hot...

Our foster cutie checking out the tree

I have many adorable pics of her sweet smile but this is all I can share on the internet...

I forgot to take a pic but the girls were still awake so I captured them...in the dark. 

 I had no idea what I was taking a picture of and the girls were blinded by the flash :)

**Take note of Beth's bedtime reading...she reads until we make her turn off the lights, and then she reads as soon as she wakes up until she gets hungry enough to get out of bed :)

It was a busy day.

Jill learned how to pump today...all on her own!

A peek into our classroom...

 These are our Greek root words.  We just added thesis and Jason realized he could spell photosynthesis - light together put (that's the literal translation :)

Adam used the math blocks to build this robot :)

Took a sick day...didn't get out of bed and don't want any pics to remember this day but the next day I saw this - Jill made Adam a get well card...before she got sick.  She is so sweet!

Which container is holding more water?

Jill's making her guess but Beth can't decide!

We're studying phases of matter and this is an illustration of liquids taking the shape of their container without changing volume, interesting stuff!

Field Trip to Sea World

It was a late night waiting for this month's extra long build (more pieces meant took longer to build but it also means - more free pieces so we waited...)

Gobble, Gobble!

Very proud of these turkeys!

Orphan Sunday at our Church

We had the priviledge of sharing our call to fostering this morning, and many involved in foster and adoption were honored. 
We concluded by realizing we all are adopted by God!!!
