April 2014 Archives

At 9:12 p.m on April 12th 2014 , Megan put a egg in vinegar. We are wanting to see for ourselves what happens. 

Megan worked all this past week on a project to enter into the Orange Show in Houston. The main point didn't have to be peeps, but they had to be part of the focus. So, Megan had two characters from "Secrets of Droom, book 26, the Moon Dragon" fighting the dragon on top of a school house.  The two main characters were peep rabbits. For Sparr , she painted the ear's purple to represent his fins on his head.  For Eric, the normal kid character in the book, she cut off the ears completely as he doesn't fins. She build the dragon out of Sculpty and decorated an empty wood box and a house red with brown strips. On the tip of the house, was a clock, to give the image of a school house.  The normal people in the town were peep chickens. 

Peeping the Environment Clean

Next year, Megan wants to do a canoeing /fishing/ cleaning up combo scene.  Her idea is the have a cardboard box that looks like a normal diorama , but in the front where you would look there would a blue plastic piece plexiglass.  Then, in water would be trash along with fish and other freshwater creatures.  The peeps would be both fishing and picking up trash. Only one peep would be fishing, representing a mischievious one. The other two or three would have nets and trash bags and picking up trash. She wants three canoes.  Odd number of peeps. The fishing peep has his/her own canoe. 

The teacher is using "I spy" And Simon Says to teach about colors, body parts, shapes, etc in Spanish. She also keeps reviewing opposites and animals.
