I'm so glad that we spent time outside with the animals this morning, because it was raining by this afternoon!  The kids helped milk the goats, bottle feed the babies, and tend to the farm.  The weather this spring has been so crummy, we'll take whatever time we can get!

We began our day with a vocabulary test, spelling review for list 31, and math independent study time.  Then, we cleared out the room and got ready for the big production!  It took a while for me to work in the video portion of our Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod poem due to the fact that I needed to take over Ms. Hilary's class time for a day.  Today, we worked it out so that we could devote a couple hours to the project.  The class worked on the props, background, and then took turns with their scenes.  I explained that when you are shooting video for something that will be edited later, it does not make sense to shoot each scene in order!  I compared this to shopping in a grocery store.  If you have apples, milk, cereal, broccoli, and cheese on a list, you would not shop for these in order!  You would be running all over the store and wasting your time!

In science today, the class began by writing out hypotheses for an oxidation experiment.  They worked through the scientific method to find the difference in oxidation times between an apple with water, an apple with lemon juice, and an apple that is plain.  They read about and discussed compounds, acids, and bases.  Then, they worked through an experiment using blue and red litmus paper.  They analyzed lemon juice, soap, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and more!
