science experiment: ky has a hypothesis & letters to great-grandma

ky has been watching us do experiments and was eager to try her own. she made it up and wanted to test it out. in which glass will the ice melt faster. ky thought the one with ice packs would melt faster. turns out the ice packs had no effect. they melted equally.

our language arts curriculum, first language lessons, suggested writing letters to family members to practice proper capitalization, punctuation, etc. i always enjoy this suggestion, then intend to write regularly, then forget. today, we painted pictures for great-grandma in washington. we also wrote thank you notes for the birthday gifts she has sent.

we love great-grandma and miss her since she lives so far away. it's been almost a year since we've seen her! (not quite true if you count skype, but you can't get a hug through skype!) :( hopefully our mail will warm her heart as her letters always do ours.
