Homeschooling Week 6


We learned about chemical changes and physical changes this week. We put Mentos candies into Diet Coke and found out that is a chemical change. Neither can go back to what they were before. We made brownies, a chemical change, and we mixed Teddy Grahams with Animal Crackers and made a physical change. Ben did great on his spelling test with ten words this week. He learned what 100 pennies and 100 beads strung together looks like. Ben knows the months of the year, the days of the week, time by the hour and half hour, but we struggle with money. He tells me every morning how much to give him to make the number of days he's been in school, but when it comes to exchanging pennies for larger coins he falters. We work on it here and there, but I think I need a system where he has to pay for treats or art supplies with real money. We also found a raccoon in our cat trap. Daddy is trying to catch a tomcat that is hurting our cats.
