Scissor Practice Activities:
We use the activities out of this book. We try to do 3 scissor activities a week but it depends on the week.

Science Activities:
Caitlyn's hypothesis, it (the objects) will turn into goo
Chloe's hypothesis, it (the objects) will melt

Their reactions: Although their hypotheses were proved false, they loved seeing the "prints" that the sun made with the objects they chose.
Popsicles
Caitlyn's hypothesis, The orange juice will melt in the freezer
Chloe's hypothesis,
The orange juice will melt in the freezer
Pouring in the orange juice
Putting the sticks in (with a piece of banana on the end to help with balancing the stick-it doesn't work as well as I thought it would - I readjusted it a few hours later)
After 2 1/2 hours in the freezer, Chloe changed her hypothesis after observing, "They are not frozen yet!" Her new hypothesis is that the popsicles will freeze in the freezer.
After Dinner, we took out our ice pops and enjoyed them in the backyard. We talked about how it was reversible change because it changed from juice (liquid) to ice (solid) and as it melted it was turning back into juice (liquid).
Caitlyn was having a hard time eating her ice pop so she put it back in her cup like this to make it easier and to keep her hands from getting too cold. She is such a good problem solver! :-)
Color Mixing
We used 3 cups of water, and food coloring to first make the primary colors (red, blue, yellow) and then we mixed primary colors to make secondary colors (purple, orange, green). The girls thought that when we added the 2nd color that the water would turn to that 2nd color but then after we did the first one, they saw that it made a new color. I made a picture to help remind them of what we learned.
Math:
Counting by 5s 
Chloe used these number cards and play nickels to review counting up to 60. I am focusing on up to 60 so that these skills can be transferred over to telling time.
Caitlyn is working on tracing her numbers:
Art:
Alphabet Trees
Caitlyn Writing Practice:
She traced the letters that spell Chloe in lower case and the letters that spell Caitlyn in capital. She decided to do this on her own, it was so cute!
