Since returning from our vacation and getting back into the normal routine of life, the kids jumped back into Science using the TopScience Corn and Beans Science Project. I absolutely love the TopScience experiments. They are so very well organized and planned out in such a way that my work is minimal and the kid's learning is maximized. The Corn & Beans Experiment project expands five weeks that include the children developing a science journal and continues through the plant growth process. Every day of school the children document the growth process in their handmade journals, they measure seed mass as it changes, and diagram plant parts and the process of photosynthesis. We've enjoyed watching simple corn and pinto beans break open through a little nurture and care, blossoming from seedlings into a full grown plant. They grow really fast!
Speaking of growing things, here's my little bean who has also been growing like a bean. He's coming into a place of wanting to do what his big sisters do. When they do schoolwork, he likes to sit at the table and have school too.
Don't be impressed. When he's not trying to be a big kid, he does a very good job of getting into any and everything he can find to be entertained until its time for nap time.
On a food-note, here's a throw back recipe, Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin. I dusted off this recipe from my blog and wowed my family's taste buds. If you're in the mood for the other white meat, be sure to try this one out.
