Adventures of Evie

  Today is B is for Brazil day! Today we played with her rainforest tube, dressed up like birds, and made a little clay bird as well. Evie had a ton of fun with today. We made the little bird first out of clay, felt feathers, toothpicks and some paper. Then we made a bird mask and a cape that Evie buttoned more feathers onto. We talked about the rainforest of Brazil and Evie learned a lot about the equator and how places that are close to it are much hotter than here. Primarily we focused on the Amazon rainforest today and talked about animals that live there, how the climate is, and how each animal that lives there is suited to that environment. We did talk a little about the culture of the country in general though, the language, people, and foods. When she's older it will be fun to try out foods from different countries with her but she's a bit young for that now and in a phase where new foods are not her friend. We also had dance tonight!  Evie's regular teacher has bee...

  Today was our final day of Weather Week and we wrapped it up by talking about rainforests and playing some fun games. We made this rain stick awhile back and we made some fun sounds with it before topping it with a bunch of poms and seeing who could get the most off before it toppled. We talked a lot about how weather really affects the planets and especially animals who find it harder to adapt than humans.  Fridays are typically our library days but this week was homecoming for her cousins so instead of hitting the library we headed up to their house to help them paint their nails. After I finished Katelyn's nails she did Evie's nails to match while I worked on Emily's. They came out really cute and sparkly and she loved matching! We had a really busy Friday running around finishing up some errands (like groceries!) ahead of a full weekend. It was a hectic but really fun day!
