School - Science and Cooking Class

This week we studied water, which materials absorb water efficiently, which material retain strength when wet and had a ball!!!!  Anything that is messy is fun!!!

 

Our materials included; tissues, paper towels, coffee filters, dish cloths, plastic wrap and aluminum foil.

 

 

First we tested which materials absorbed well.

 

 

  

 

 

 

 Even the little ones got in on the action! 

 

We tested which matereials retained strength wehn wet.

 



 

 

 

 

 

We have been studying George Washington as well.

 

We made Johnny Cakes and a Cherry Pie. 

 

Johnny cakes are a pancake that is made out of corn meal vs. wheat flour. 

 

We served they with molasses, apple butter and applesauce.  The kids were not fond of the molasses.

 

The cherry pie came from the story of George chopping down the cherry tree.   

 

 

 

Hopie SLATHERED on the molasses ... too much ... it was inedible.  But she was adventuress and tried it.

Chew Chew Chew

Check out Seth demolishing this apple!!!  

When we adopted Seth he could not bite, chew or swallow. He used his fingers to push the food around in his mouth and to push it down his throat. 

He's really doing well with his biting and chewing skills!

Meet Felicity

She is in the same country as Trinity.

Hard Workin' Man

Noah vacuums all the time. I hope it continues into adulthood!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Noah is attaching the floor brush to the vacuum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Here he is cleaning up a crayon mark that got on the floor while the kids were coloring.

 

 

 

 

Curls

I only got a picture of Grace with the curls. Isn't she ah-dor-able?!

Who remembers these?

I remember my mom rolling my hair with the pink sponge rollers.  I always felt so special.  The rollser were killer to sleep in, but I remember waking up the next day and my hair being all springy and fluffy and curly.  I found these rollers at WalMart the other day and couldn't resist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Birthday Total!!!!!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to Trinity's adoption for Gloria's Birthday yesterday. 


$350.00 (335 after paypal fees) in donations were received.  Thank you!

Gloria is THREE today!!!!

It's Gloria's birthday and she would like nothing more that to have you make a donation to Trinity :)

 

This is Gloria's 2nd birthday home, more birthdays home than in the orphanage!!!!! 

 

 

Will you help us celebrate our special dolly?

We are looking for 47 people to make a $10.00 donation.

 

Why 47?  Because sweet Glory has 47 Chromosomes!

 

Why $10.00 Because Sweet Glory was born in 2010

 and it is a nice even amount that nearly everyone can afford :)

 

 

 

For the donation, I will send you an "Adopted" bracelet.

 

The front says "ADOPTED" and the back says Ephesians 1:5

 

If you are not familiar with that scripture, it says

 

"He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself,

according to the kind intention of His will."

 

You can make the donation to our personal Paypal account here or to our RR account on the side of the blog.
