Math- We originally hoped to do math all online, and while Khan Academy is great for our self-motivated 5th grader, it's not so much for our 2nd grader. We're supplementing with Singapore Math- which I taught him last year.

LA- Magic Tree House Read-a-Thon

Science- Grandma's new chickens are starting to lay eggs! But they are smaller right now compared to her bigger chickens. We compared the difference.

Then, for Life Skills, we made scrambled eggs.

We also experimented with eggs in cookies ;)

 

Science Experiment 2- Ice Orbs. We used balloons to create ice balls. We then sprinkled salt on them and used food coloring to watch where the water went. We talked about winter Ice Melt and how it works. Also, why bodies of fresh water freeze faster than salt water.

Exploring Technology- Crunch Labs, Legos, and catapults

PE- Ladder Ball and Bikes

Social Studies by J- James Madison was president during the war of 1812. James Monroe was the 5th president and was president during the Era of Good Feelings. 

New Jersey is known as the Garden State, but Georgia is known for it's peaches, onions and peanuts (and marble stone). Georgia is known as The Peach State, because the Onion State doesn't sound that good. 😁

Stay Curious- Why are farm eggs colored but store eggs are white? 

Actually, all eggs start out as white. Certain chicken breeds cause a pigment to be added when they lay the egg. Bet the Easter Bunny was surprised to learn chickens dye eggs all year long.😜

If you want a chicken that lays white eggs, just look for one with white ear lobes.

Wait chickens have ear lobes!?

The red ear lobe is right under the fluffy feathers.
Chickens with red ear lobes lay brown eggs.
