Homeschool Week Four

This week we're learning about opposites, fruits in general, apples specifically, the letter "A," and the number 12! Today we cut open two different varieties of apples and counted their seeds and compared their sizes, we cut open a lemon and looked at the seeds, we tasted both and compared sour to sweet, and then we made the apples into applesauce and observed how they changed when heat was applied. Then...we ate our applesauce! Yummmm! And after all of that, we went to the zoo! After the zoo we went to Costco, where we looked for things that started with the letter "A" and looked for anything that displayed the number 12 (which Nora was very proud to find on a trash can). We love school!

We are also using My Father's World! Isn't it awesome! We are on "G" for goat.....but we LOVED this week! We still have our paper tree with the fruit of the Spirit listed on the apples hanging on our school wall! The Hazells amaze me every week at how how effortlessly they tie in a bible concept and make it so teachacble to a 5 year old! Blessings!
