Muscles in Motion V

Miss Donna has attended Brain Gym training, read Dianne Craft and other material and completely put her heart into Muscles in Motion. Her love for our children and her passion to help them grow in and for Christ is unbelievable . We treasure Miss Donna.

Muscles in Motion IV

A new look for our moms? Miss Donna was helping the children improve their fine motor skills today. We used clothes pens to clip fabric onto moms. The look may become the next fashion statement! We'll call it recession wear. Have a tear or a stain? Just switch around the clothes pin and cover it!....or not.

Dispersion

Lisandrea, Jana, Diane and Nancy acted out a fat molecule that becomes emulsified by soap today. Our brilliant moms, lead by Jana, locked arms as a happy fat molecule. Then the dressed-in-black soap, Nancy, brust through their happy molecule and sent the moms out into the vast bowl of milk. A truly Emmy-worthy performance.

Dispersion

We discussed dispersion today. We first poured milk into plates and dropped spots of food coloring into the milk. We observed that the food coloring did not disperse but stayed in colorful blobs in the milk. Then we dropped one drop of dish soap into our plates. Instantly the fat molecules in the milk dispersed allowing the water-based food color to move around the whole plate, mix with the other blobs of color and form ribbons and designs in our plates!

Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel

Travis did an excellent job using Michaelangelo's technique of painting on his back.




Daniel drew this while on his back. An incredible job considering the chalk dust that landed in his eyes.

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.
