This week we colored our digestive system organs! We learned that the small intestine is way, way longer than the large intestine. We also learned about the appendix and that it can get inflamed and cause harm to the body. We thought that it had no purpose, but we learned that it may help by storing friendly gut bacteria. We had no idea!
Tech:
Doodle Crate (Kaylee): This week I started my March crate.... making paper! I put white paper strips into my jar as well as colored tissue paper. I also put flecks of "confetti paper" in it. When the paper dries, the flecks will show up like confetti. The flecks don't dissolve because they are much thicker than the tissue paper.
I spread the pulp over my tray and squeezed out all the water. Next, I left it out to dry into colored paper.
Tinker Crate (Landen): This week I built the body to my wooden crane!
It is so cool! I can't wait to be able to use it!
Elective:
Arts and Crafts (Kaylee): This week I worked on my other sole.
It is getting so pretty! I love them!
Building Machines (Landen): This week I built an off road vehicle and it is so fast!!
Howdy! You're always learning amazing stuff. I hope my appendix never bothers me and yours never does either. It sounds really interesting that you're making paper. I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like when completed. How long did it take to dry?
ReplyDeleteThe slippers are coming along. How many rows are on each sole?
Landen sure likes to build things, huh?! They look really cool like he said. I bet he'll finish the crane soon.
I hope you and your family are all happy and all is going well!
