Avi -10/22/2020

Avilene ate two servings of blueberry bagel and ate peaches for breakfast.  For lunch she ate a large serving of hamburger and sausage pizza, with whole wheat pizza crust, tomato sauce, peppers, pineapple, and olives.  She also ate pineapple on the side.  

First picture:  I took this picture shortly after Avi and Svea arrived.  Avi frequently plays with the two boys before she does anything else.  She was sliding the red phone across the floor and then crawling with Miles to go retrieve it.  I encouraged her to let him grab it first some of the time to keep his interest in the game.  

I basically said about the same thing in Svea's Blog, but I'll repeat part of it here:  We started a segment today - and we're gonna do it every Thursday morning going forward - and we're calling it "Science with Lauralea."  Today Lauralea did two different "experiments" that were fun and simple and perfect for this age group.  (Designed for Preschool Age)  This picture is different than the experiment I posted in Svea's Blog.  This experiment was basically about the temperature of water.  In the picture Atley is putting one hand in cold water, one hand in warm water.  Then we had them put their hands in the blue bowl and see if "one side" of the water in that bowl is "colder."  They all said the same thing; the side with their hand that was in the cold water.  :)

Last picture:  We tried this once before, but the marble maze didn't work that well and was kind of a dud. Lauralea found another marble maze at a garage sale, but it too is not easy to assemble and this age group had it "disassembled within 37.43 seconds after we got it together.  So we'll see.  :)
