Catching Up

Phew! Between moving, holidays and school coming up, we've all been busy! I don't think I've seen your kiddos since our World War One activity last Friday. I'm super excited to see them today and do some Science!
Here are a few photos from the WW1 activity. Enjoy!

 This rice bowl was a representation of how many people were killed in World War One. Each grain of rice represents 100 people.
One of the most shocking things about this visual for me was that in World War Two, the amount of deaths was four times this many.

 Showing them where WW1 took place.

 They went home with little bags of rice (that hopefully didn't explode) to remind them of the magnitude of the war. With eacf grain representing 100 people, this pile of rice is 1\15 of the people who died in the war.

 They built scenes from the war.

 Wondering what a rice plant looks like?

We also learned about many types of animals used in the war. Here are a few:

See if your kids can tell you what they were used for! Thanks again for letting me borrow your amazing kids. I have a blast with them and I'm learning tons!
Keep up the good work!
