Today is day 3 and I'm happy I'm bringing Sarah home with me we have missed her! Today was a lot of fun. We started out with flag and then went directly to the Math and Science Center via the trails in the woods to give the girla the opportunity to do some "hiking." The Math and Science Center was all about the Water Cycle. The first activity the girls did was to go to a picture of a type of water on the wall and they got a pony bead for their bracelet. Then they rolled a dice. Some of the types of water were glacier, ocean, lakes, rivers, and ground water. Each station gave the girls a different color bead. It was a great activity. Then we saw the raingarden outside the Center. It helps to clean the rain water. Apparently the Children's Museum has a raingarden on its roof. So then the girls came in and split into groups and did three different activities. One was learning about the watershed and how what we put into the environment affects the water. Another activity was learning about erosion. The last activity was making an edible raingarden. All of these activities could be easily duplicated and could be used for our WOW Wonders of Water Journey.
We then got our picture taken, had lunch, practiced for flag and swam. Then it was off to crafts. We made our standard picture frame and our God's Eye. Then flag and now we are heading back home. We are almost to Hawthorne. Thank goodness! I think I will drive tomorrow. As much as I hate to spend the gas money, I hate even more to be in this loud uncomfortable bus. It will be a good change. :) Tomorrow is the sleepover!
