Today was a great first day back after a long, extended Christmas break! The week previous to Christmas break, my Uncle, Iraj Azarvand, passed away, so we were busy all that week with funeral arrangements & such.
Cyrus had the opportunity to join us this day and was a big help!
We spent a lot of time learning about the Octopus! In addition to making our windsocks, we were able to use the computer to view various videos & pictures of the Octopus. The adults seemed to be just as intrigued as the children!
We also talked about our New Years resolutions, Darius said his resolution is to play more Pokemon!? Lorien wants to play more. At least they aren't setting themselves up for failure, I'm pretty sure they will accomplish their resolutions!
For science, we learned about the weights of liquids & were able to see the weight difference through a glass. We used water, oil, vinegar & corn syrup.
