Played with friends this morning.

Reading, Science
Read Let's Explore a River, by McCauley. Learned about wildlife, currents, plants and seasons of a river.

Faith read Why the Frog Has Big Eyes, by Franco
Faith read Wish and Win: The Sound of W, by Flanagan

Math
Took turns writing and figuring addition and subtraction problems with chalk on the driveway. Faith learned how to add larger sums by adding up columns of two numbers (Ex: 22+33=55 and 2,000+3,000=5,000)

Math (Money)
Worksheets: Draw lines to match the rows of nickels to the price tags (counting by 5's).
Worksheet: Write the missing numbers in the rectangles (1-20)

Science, Music
Experiment: To see how different amounts of water in a glass affect the sound produced when struck. Filled four glasses with water of varying amounts and listened to the sound each produced. Talked about vibration and sound. More water means a lower sound is produced because the vibration is slower.
