Tangrams, Cookie Dough, Paper Airplanes, and Chocolate

Here are some pictures from the past week.
We had lots of fun covering the beginning of World War I and doing some neat "hands-on" projects.

Sissi, all dressed up and playing with her bear

Working on some math

Gwangi, working on his Explode the Code

Being silly while doing her Explode the Code

She loves to work on tangrams while I do our read-aloud

Gwangi joined her on this day

One of her finished pictures

When they put the blocks away, they did it by shape and color, in layers...They inherited my organization gene!

Making sugar cookie dough maps of Europe

Cutting out Europe from their rolled out sugar cookie dough


One of the final maps, I think this is Gwangi's map

Watching it cook in the oven

Decorating her map

It puffed up a bit during baking, but I think they look great

More decorating

Another tangram, this one built by Gwangi from his imagination

Making and flying our own paper airplanes

Science project, watching the sun focus on the chocolate through the magnifying glass and melt it

Krypto actually got a flame and smoke coming off of his chocolate

So very gooey and tasty!
