Lilys investigation

Lily woke up and asked me for a bucket filled with soapy water and paper towels so she could do an investigation. I just watched what she was doing.

First she rubbed her hands in dirt. Then she tried to get the dirt off with the paper towel. She carefully inspected her hands and said they still are dirty. She decided to wash her hand with soap and water and then dry them . She inspected her hands again and said they are germ free. She then told Aj all about her experiment. Lily was so proud of herself.













After she finished she asked if we could walk to the beach because she wants to investigate more...

We had so much fun with family and friends celebrating this holiday.


We watched fireworks and ate hotdogs at the mashpee family cookout.

















We went to a cookout where we ate food, threw water balloons,played in a bounce house and on slide, got ice cream and had fun.


















Lily and Aj put tattoos on and they decorated cookies.










We also made pictures of fireworks and read a book.

While reading The Glorious Flight we learned about many different things! Take a look at the activitys we did!


Social Studies(geography,culture,history,flags)-We learned where France and England were on the world map. We also were introduced to the cliffs of Dover and the English channel. Lily drew a picture of the Franch Flag. We read a few books about France.






Mathematics(Roman numerals)-We learned how to write the Roman numerals 1-5.





Science(flying,inventions)- We learned about Benjamin Franklin and what contributions he made to the world. Lily and Aj talked about Gravity,flying and the different ways to travel. We made paper kites and flew kites. We completed a worksheet on air, read a ton of books and watched a movie about Gravity also. Trying on head phones pilots wear while flying was fun.
