U -u- us ... the body

That's our theme for the week/time being. We're learning about the body and senses, but I think we'll go beyond that. The kids are really getting into the experiments with sight and sound.

We've played with rubber band vibration (sound waves) and how they are like the strings on Daddy's guitar.

We've discussed how our eyes are like cameras and looked at our pupils change shape in dark and light.

We've made a full-size drawing of the kids and are labeling various parts as we study them. They REALLY liked this. I think we'll have to put them on the ceiling when we're finished. HA! ( The drawings, not the kids).

We've read some books and looked at what Braille is and discussed being blind.

More to come!!
