We had such a nice time in Regina for a short holiday...I almost forgot to keep you updated on our school progress!
Here are the pictures from the first week of our plant unit.
Later today I will take some pictures of them now, and post them. One of the big dilemmas we had when we came to Regina was whether or not we should leave the lid on the greenhouse. That was our first experiment. Would the tomato plants in the greenhouse grow faster, or slower than the ones in the peat pots in the open air. Both girls thought they would grow slower because there wasn't as much air.
Obviously they were wrong, and the ones in the greenhouse grew faster. DD1 was pretty quick at realizing that the warmth, and the constant moisture from condensation was why.
Anyway, by the time we were ready to leave for Regina, the tomato plants in the greenhouse were touching the lid. So we left it open!
This week we have been trying to catch up with Math and LA, and the girls have had swimming lessons. I am off to a women's retreat this weekend (yay), so I will try to get those photos up this afternoon, and then I will be gone until Sunday!
Have a great day!
