It is coming to the end of May. Besides finishing up the worksheet, we attend classes in local science museum along with other homeschoolers.

Building helicopter

I like to buy constructive toys for my boys. Ethan is quick temper person and I would like to train him to be more patience. Building this helicopter of course took a lot of effort out of him. At first, he did not want to do it because it seemed hard to construct. I then encouraged him to do it together with me. Finally, a helicopter is built... .

Observing dirt

Earth Day is a good time to show the boys how to appreciate the earth. From one of the program in PBS channel, I got an idea for the science project. It is easy to do and we just do it from our backyard. That is digging out the dirt and observing it.

Field trip to Houston Natural Science Museum

The museums in Houston always offering good educational program. Thanks to one of the mom from a homeschool group who organizes different kinds of field trip to the museum. This time we joined the other families for this field trip learning about Paleontology. The boys got the chance to see all kinds of fossils and the dino's exhibition.

A visit to Houston Audobon

Exploring nature is one part of our homeschool curriculum. The Houston Audobon is a great place to explore during spring time.
