Firedrake had her Spanish presentation this week for class. She was presenting a story she wrote in Spanish. In her story she talked about eggs and bacon so she wanted to bring in a treat for the kids to munch on while listening and translating her story into English her story.

| We found a very cute candy fried egg and bacon treat. We figured this would be easier then making real eggs and bacon. to take to school. |
 |
| We simply melted white chocolate discs and spread it out on wax paper into odd shapes. We added yellow MM's for the egg yolk and two pretzels for the bacon slices. |
 |
| the treats were a bit success and so simple. Most kids were able to figure out what they were suppose to be based on the story, which my daughter was relieved about. |
MarioFan and I are starting a new science unit and I have chosen this book to work from. In addition I am for the first time going to make up tests after each chapter and work with him on how to study for tests. I am also teaching him how to take notes while reading a book. Due to handwriting issues he is learning to take notes via typing on the computer.

| Our first experiment was to create mold. Mold forms and spreads very quickly with moistened bread |
 |
| whereas dry bread takes a bit longer to develop mold. |
For history we are continuing to understand the cold war and looking at the many complexities of that era.
Next week is spring break for us and our coop so I will be take a small blogging break to so a bit of spring cleaning and yard work, at least that is my plan:)
We did a mold experiment with sliced american cheese one year. It never molded even after weeks in a wet environment!. How many chemicals must be in it to keep it from molding? We agreed that we will never eat sliced american cheese again lol!
