On Safari in the Ladybugs




There's something for everyone in the Ladybugs!









We invited the big kids to join us for a STEM project.

One of our Gumshoe friends made a slide show for us of animals he saw in Zimbabwe. 


He did an excellent job!

We are continuing our study of African animals.  One of our friends did a presentation for us on animals he had seen in Africa.  It was fun to see real animals in their natural habitat.

We had a new STEM project this week.  The challenge was to use pipe insulators to create a marble run that had elevation, a curve and use a container that could catch the marbles at the end.  We had a lot of different designs that created centrifugal force with gentle and not so gentle curves and loops.  Elevation was made using chairs, stools, blocks and lots of tape.  I love the way the kids, big and little, work together.
