Samuri

Sarah was working on a homeschool project about Japan. She learned about origami, and discovered she could make Samuri hats. The boys loved the thought of warriors and swords, so sarah make extra large size hats for the boys. She fashioned a leather shirt covered in bits of iron (out of newspaper) and some super swords.

The two boys really enjoyed the benefits of Sarahs Japan project. Keep learning sarah, so we can have some more fun!

It is really cold when....

Dad watched a YouTube video about taking boiling water outside, and throwing it up into the air and watching in form into powder. It only works when it is really cold outside.

At -26 today we thought we too would give it a try.

We boiled the kettle, had the kids get on hats, mittens, coats and boots, and gave each of them a mug.

They had so much fun making snow, we boiled the kettle a second time, so they could all try it some more.





Here is the steps if you want try it yourself.

Wait for -25C or lower
Boil the water in a kettle,
Take an empty mug outside, along with the kettle
pour the water into the mug
throw the water into the air
bring the camera to take pictures to prove it works

Two Being Taught

We are officially home schooling this year.
Courtney has been begging to be home schooled, so we have started her with the kindergarten phonics and math this year. She is very happy with it and was very excited to sound out her first word, LOG! She is now reading lots of words and even has a few small readers of her own.
Sarah has registered with The School of Hope. It is a school just for home school students. We have started her on grade two for math and phonics, and grade one for her other subjects. We have met up with her teacher, and she feels that she is right on track!
Both girls are doing a great job. Keep up the good work!!
