I showed Faith the art of cutting paper snowflakes. We created many different designs and hung them in our front window for everyone to see.
We painted ornaments to hang on the Christmas tree. Faith chose a wooden reindeer to paint with acrylic craft paint. Then, she glued googly eyes on it for the final touch.
Faith decided to make her own craft today. She used craft sticks and glued them together with the drips from the hot glue gun I was using (for my own project). Her artistic creation looked very much like an angel fish. So, she decided to paint it with ocean themed colors using acrylic craft paint.

Science, Writing, Reading
Studying Magents this week.
Experiment 1: Asked Faith to look at each item I show her and say whether she thought it would be attracted to the magnet. We listed the items on a chalkboard under Attracted/Magnetic or Not Attracted/Not Magnetic. Then, she tested each item. She used two separate colored sheets of paper to list the items in each group as she tested them. She also wrote what it was made of (penny--metal, jar--glass, twig--wood). Then we discussed the results.
Experiment 2: Discovered that magnets attract through other objects, but only up to a certain thickness. We tested it with paper, a shirt, our finger, a pillow, a 2x4 wood beam.
Experiment 3: Making a magnet. Building your own compass. Discussed north and south poles of magnets and also the earth. Reviewed properties of magnets: north attracts south, etc. Rubbed the magnet on a straight pin in a single direction to magnetize the pin. Placed the pin on the sticky side of a foam craft sticker and floated it on water in a bowl. Observed that the two ends of the pin point toward North and South even when turned. Observed that the pin reacted to magnets from much farther away than usual.
Experiment 4: Learned that magnetic attraction can pass along from one pin to another, but only for a certain number of pins before the attraction becomes too weak. Used a magnet to collect pins end to end. Were able to pick up only 6.
Read Magnets, by Parker.
Art
Made magnet paintings. Taped a piece of paper over a plastic bin lid (propped up on two jars). Then, dipped different objects in paint, placed them on the paper, and used the magnet underneath to drag the object/paint around.

Faith read pgs 1-44 of The Case of The Hungry Stranger, by Bonsall. She has really enjoyed this book so far.

Yea for Faith being excited about reading a book!

Currently, I'm reading Case for Creation, by Lee Strobel. Faith asked me what the book was about. This opened up a discussion about evolution and creation. From there, we began talking about space, the solar system, galaxies and the universe. I showed Faith several short videos on the internet that depict what it would be like to travel (visually) from our planet, through the solar system, our galaxy, our galaxy cluster, and into the outer reaches of the universe. She was fascinated by this. We looked at many pictures of what our galaxy (a spiral galaxy) is shaped like, and compared it to other galaxies. We also discussed what a theory is.

Faith asked, "Where is Spain?" while watching me fix a spanish fan that a friend brought home from a trip to that country. So, we got out the globe and identified Spain. We reviewed the difference between a state and a country. Faith learned to identify islands as a landmass completely surrounded by water. We did an exercise with her finding different islands on the globe, and also with me asking her if particular places were islands or not.
History
We discussed how the spanish language came from Spain and eventually spread over most of Central and South America. Then we identified Portugal and Brazil and discussed the spread of Portugese in a similar manner.
Science, Geography
We reviewed where the Equator and the North and South Poles are. Then we discussed whether a country's climate was "warm" or "cold" by it's proximity to these areas.
Math, Geography
Exercise: Using a piece of string, measure the distance between Tallahassee, FL and Spain, Hawaii, the Equator, and the North Pole. Then draw each distance using the string on the chart provided. Measure each line in inches using a ruler and write the answer next to it. Which place is the farthest away from Tallahassee? Which place is closest?
Faith also learned how to write the term "1/2" while doing the exercise.
Math, Art, Writing, Reading
Exercise: Using your ruler, find something that is 3 inches long in your room. Draw a picture of it and label the picture. Faith found a shell and drew an excellent representation of it. She spelled the word "shell" on her paper.
Science
Worked some more on our garden project. We found more containers to use for planting seeds. Faith filled them with soil, chose two kinds of seeds, sowed them, and watered them.
Faith asked, "Where is Spain?" while watching me fix a spanish fan that a friend brought home from a trip to that country. So, we got out the globe and identified Spain.

Science
Gardening project: Went and bought a variety of seeds today. We cut the bottoms off of juice bottles and drilled holes in them for seed pots. Talked about why the hole is necessary for water drainage. Then Faith filled the pots with organic gardening soil. We sowed each type of seed in it's own container. Faith noted the variety of shapes, sizes, and colors of the seeds. We made labels for the plants by writing the names on popsicle sticks and poking them into the soil. Faith watered them with a spray bottle and then we set the containers on a tray (a lid to a large bin) for easy transportation in and out of the house. We also added the coleus cuttings that we made in the fall to the group.
Vocabulary: sow, annual, herb, decompose, impatiens, chives, oregano, zinnia, thyme
Math
Review worksheet: Write in the missing numbers on the clock face.
Clock search: Find and circle all of the different kinds of clocks in the house picture.
Reading
Faith read pgs. 37-44 of Happy Days With Our Friends, by Montgomery & Bauer.

Reading
Listened to CD8 of Heidi.
Reading, Writing, Math, Geography, Art
Began work on My Book About Me (a Dr. Seuss book). Read pages 1-19 and answered the questions. Some answers are written (fill in the blank). Some pages are for drawing an illustration (what my nose looks like). She also did counting and addition to figure out the amount of certain objects in her house (how many forks, how many windows). She practiced writing her name and address, her phone number, and used a globe to remember what country she lives in.
Played in the rain.

Science
Went fossil hunting today. Drove to an area southwest of Tallahassee near the Aucilla River. We picked through rocks of limestone and sandstone that were scattered around. Found many shell fossil fragments, sandollar fossils, and sea urchin fossils. We brought home a few specimen to clean and identify. Faith really enjoyed collecting and idenifying them!

Went to the library. Faith decided on studying the letter R this week and learning about rocks, gems, crystals, and fossils (some of her favorite things to collect).
Reading, Science
Crystal & Gem, by Eyewitness books. Learned all about what crystals and gems are, the various types, people who study them, how they are made and used.
Science
Created an experiment with growing crystals. Using sugar, boiling water, food coloring, string and two different sized glasses, we wanted to know which cup would grow the crystals first: the smaller, narrow one, or the larger wide one. We must wait and watch the cups over the next few days to see what happens.
Writing, Reading
Addressed and mailed the letter to penpal Caleb.
Geography
Because today is the anniversary of the day Tabitha joined our family from China, we had a celebration at Faith's grandparent's house. Her grandfather pinned up a giant map of the world and showed us the path that they traveled to get Tabitha and bring her home.
Reading
Faith read a book to me while at her grandparent's house, but I do not know the title.
