Martian Mania!

Did you know that the biggest known mountain in the whole solar system is on Mars?  Olympus Mons is three times bigger than Mount Everest.  Since it's a volcano, the kids made a model of it and made it explode, in a variety of colors!

Another fun event this week was pajama day.  The kids wore pajamas until P.E., which is just after lunch.  We had a "cozy" breakfast of pancakes, warm applesauce, and cocoa.  Reading time was enjoyed on the couch under a warm blanket.  The kids each picked a couple of stuffed animals, which accompanied them to their various stations throughout the day.  We'll definitely repeat it next year.

Kyler's education on PJ day was supervised by "Papa Bear"
