Michaelangelo and the Sistine Chapel II





Peter is going to be a volcanoist. Dr. Peter, Volcano Expert.

Helena and Jessica are great friends and science partners.



Michaelangelo and the Sistine Chapel

We studied Michaelangelo again this week and discussed his work in the Sistine Chapel. We then taped our paper underneath chairs and tables to see how Michaelangelo must have felt. Chalk chips dropped into our eyes, our arms quickly tired and our necks crooked but overall it was wonderful fun.







Caleb and Luke work on their volcano.


Joel and Boaz were fascinated!



Beatrice and the Volcano


Beatrice asked me what we were going to do today. I replied, "well I'm gonna love you and hug you and call you George". Bea squished up her nose and said "I'd rather you call me Princess". For that level of cuteness, Beatrice gets her own page.








Mrs. W. the Great stayed up until one this morning to make clay volcanoes. Her volcanoes were incredible! She then helped us make them explode using soap, water, food coloring, vinegar and baking soda. The children loved watching them erupt. Thank you Mrs. W.









This is Mrs. H and Mrs. W. Thank you again Mrs. W for a wonderful job making the volcanoes and researching about them.





Mrs. M and Boaz look at a volcano.

Noah Lost a Tooth Today

Boaz somehow managed to help Noah's front tooth come out this afternoon. The drama was intense. Boaz's mom was horrified until she realized that it was a loose baby tooth that had been knocked out. Noah survived and Mrs. B. carefully wrapped the tooth in a napkin so Noah could show his mom and dad.






Ethan as Ben Franklin

Ethan and Evan


Evan and Ethan did an absolutely fabulous job presenting Ben Franklin, James Monroe and Thomas Jefferson this morning. They acted out the highlights of each man's education and career using pictures and props. Thank you Evan and Ethan!!





Daniel and the Volcano

Daniel brought in his volcano and demonstrated it for our whole group today. He did an excellent job explaining the parts of the volcano to include magma, vents, crater and lava. Thank you Daniel.
