Pirates, Leaves, and Parties

Genevieve's friend had a birthday party this weekend, so after soccer we headed to the park to play with them.  Then on Sunday, we celebrated Talk like a Pirate Day by reading pirate books and following a treasure map.

We had gymnastics, storytime and Music Makers.  Between classes, we practiced patterns and puzzles.  She practiced writing some numbers and made some math symbols like plus and minus.  Genevieve made some doughnuts with Grandma too.

Our friends came over and we had great fun experimenting with plants.  We used some liquid water color to color some white flowers and some celery.  We sorted some fall leaves by color and tore them up in some hot water and rubbing alcohol.  Then we used coffee filters and chromatography paper to see the different types of chlorophyll inside.  Whenever we do chromatography, we like to try a few markers too.
