We did our passports and worked on our Israel notebook.

Language Arts and Math

Both kids are working on root words and prefixes and suffixes. 

Little Man is making sure he has those addition math facts down. Bug is working on multiplication.

Science

In science we are learning about nonvascular plants.We did an experiment using a paper towel to show how it absorbs water.

 We also studied different seeds and noticed how unique each seed is.

We released the last moths from our butterfly garden. I am glad that they finally emerged.

This is the Fall Webworm. I think this is the female from what Bug researched.

They are pretty but can be quiet destructive to trees if there is a large population of them.

 Then we let the bees clean out the frames. Wow talk about bees being in a frenzy. It was interesting watching them.

Hebrew, Art, and Misc... Studies

Nothing in these areas this week as we are still trying to get our scheduled worked out and mom just isn't being very organized.

However both kids are doing Hebrew just not at home.
