Our Week: Too Busy

I didn't get a chance to do a weekly wrap-up last week so this will have a little from last week and this week. It's been a really busy couple weeks. Ice hockey season is wrapping up and we've had to travel both weeks for away games.

In chemistry, we learned about mixtures and did an experiment mixing things together to see if they would mix, stay separate, or dissolve. This week, we read about separating mixtures. I was missing one of our materials for the experiment so we'll do that next week.

 In history, we read about Peter the Great last week.

Last week, we did some activities and read lots of books to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday. See our Wacky Wednesday here and our other activities here. This week we got to see The Lorax. It was a really cute movie and we all enjoyed it.

Last week's hockey games were in Charleston, SC. We got a chance to walk around downtown for a little while.

 

 

It was really windy, but we stopped by the beach for about an hour before heading home.

We spent Monday-Wednesday of this week reading about Washington, D.C.

  

The kids used Draw Write Now to draw the Capitol.

On Thursday, we drove to Washington, D.C. for another hockey tournament. We visited Arlington National Cemetery that day.

Most of the rest of our time has been spent in ice rinks watching Colin play hockey.

 

One more day of hockey tomorrow and then we're going to spend some time exploring Washington, D.C. before going home.
