Pajama Preschool: Sink or Float?


For "B" is for Boat week, we did a little sink or float experiment. First, I had the girls make their own boats out of tinfoil (I helped my 2-year-old a bit). 

    Then they loaded the boats up with objects to see if they would capsize. 


All of our boats held up outstandingly well. :)

Next, we dropped items in one at a time to see what floated and what sank. We made lots of guesses, like, "Oh sure, the metal spoon will float!"


 Afterwards the girls got to just play and soak the kitchen floor. Good clean fun!

Apartment School ;)

We just finished week 2 of homeschooling in our teeny tiny apartment. Right after breakfast, I clear the table, strap Sam in my front carrier, get out my wooden spoon "pointer," and tell the girls it's school time. They LOVE it! Cadi thinks it's a game, and constantly asks to "play school," calling me "teacher." Sophi cannot get enough of art--she can cut and glue for an hour uninterrupted! 

I taught preschool as a lead teacher for 2 years, so I have tons of great theme-based units in my pocket to use, but I found an amazing site called Hubbard's Cupboard... and it's all free! We are going through the Bible and Rhyme 3-5 year old lessons, and oh my goodness does Michelle Hubbard have it all together! Check it out if you need any homeschooling, classroom, Sunday school, or fun with your kid ideas! 
 Got this gently used calendar/bulletin board set on e-bay for $10, woo-who! 
I would love to hear of any homeschool ideas anyone might have, I'm new to this! :)
