May School Fun

This month, we focused on some Egyptian projects such as pyramid building and mummy-making.  We also had time to witness two ant colonies begin their formation and watched closely as we fed them every third day.  Our music curriculum has picked up a bit with some practical lessons and actual playing of the piano.
 





We sacrificed 3 Iron Man toys for the process of salting, oiling and wrapping them as mummies.  Maybe they will be preserved for a few thousand years?


Our ants arrived in the mail, we can't wait to watch them start to form their homes.




You can see the progress that the ants are making as they dig and carry up the particles and dump them over the side.





We are taking piano theory lessons on-line.
Then we apply it to a real piano and practice the songs we are learning.

Garrett had a close encounter with a butterfly who decided that he was a pretty good landing spot...stay still, he might just kiss you.
