Besides moving...

We've been nurturing our little avocado plant we started from an avocado nut.

 Look at these big, lush leaves already.

This is from Theodore's funeral.

 After a lesson on the water cycle, we started this evaporation experiment. Just a jar of salty water and some dark colored paper and a few days.

The only good thing about moving out is the abundance of cardboard boxes which translate into hours of   playing adventures. Don't ask me why all four of them plus a pillow and Scarlet's prized possession dolly are all stuffed in one box. Looks like torture to me. They even had the lid over them for a while. Needless to say, Charlie came out kind of sweaty :0)

Don't You Name Your Plants Too??

We had a cactus lesson. We learned the adjective Cactaceous. We read Cactus Soup. We picked out our own pet cactus. We planted them together in a pink pot. Jacob named his "Bite" and he named Charlie's "Pickle". Jane is still working on a name- historically, she's the one that takes the longest to name things.  Cacti were not in our curriculum, but we got sidetracked and we go with the flow around here.
