Did you know how we spent Christmas?

Christmas at the in-laws out in the country is always exciting for the kids. Of course we have the presents and good food, but the grandparents go all out on the entertainment. This year, here is how Paw Paw entertained the kids-young and old alike!

Did You Know About El Pollo Loco?

Did you know about El Pollo Loco?

Do you crave grilled chicken? Do you dream of citrus marinate? Does trying to get that char-grilled taste at home drive you loco? Are you only getting the charred taste, without the grill? Forget doing it yourself. Forget going loco. Forget grilling chicken at home. Go for the true citrus grilled taste. Go El Pollo Loco.

Did You Know Magma is Liquid Rock?

Did you know magma is liquid rock?

I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but my daughter did an experiment yesterday that really put it into perspective. We used about 1/4 cup of water and 10 TBS of cornstarch, stirred in one TBS at a time. By the last couple of tablespoons, it got pretty hard to stir. Then she tried to put a spoon down into the "putty rock". If she let the spoon slip slowly into the mixture, it went down into it. Slowly pulling it out was no problem either. But if she tried to force the spoon down into it, it was hard and did not go down very far. When she tried to force the spoon out quickly, it was also difficult to pull out. This shows the way that rock inside the earth can function as both a liquid and a solid. When moved slowly, it flows easily, when forced, it cracks and breaks.

Did You Know About Zenni Optical?

Did you know about ZenniOptical?

I just learned about this Great Discovery: www.ZenniOptical.com. They offer eyeglasses starting at $8. Having a pre-teen in glasses makes this offer look really good. My daughter had to get new glasses last year since she broke hers by hanging them on her bike and forgetting they were there. So, at $8 a pair, it seems a lot less of a loss when that kind of stuff happens.

Did You Know How to Make a Volcano Sundae?

Did you know how to make a volcano sundae?







If you know me, you know that I find ways to connect lessons with our senses. This week we have been reading about volcanoes so today we made volcano sundaes for dessert. My daughter took some chocolate ice cream and put it into different shaped containers to form the different shapes of volcanoes. She did a shield volcano, a dome volcano and a cinder cone volcano. The little boys crushed chocolate sandwich cookies for dirt and ash, and I cut strawberries for lava.
