Hygiene Kits for Cambodia

Thank you for your donations to the hygiene kits for Cambodia. This children really enjoyed packing the kits and talking about life in a poor country. Thanksgiving is a perfect time  to do this activity because it makes our children incredibly thankful for their own lives. I delivered some hygiene kits to Cambodia 2 years ago. The looks on the faces of the people when they received a hygiene kit each will stay with me forever. 

Each hygiene kit has toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, washcloth and an instruction card, made by the children.

Birthdays Cole and Max celebrated their 7th birthdays this week.

Science

During the study of motion, the children have made spinning tops and zoomers. We talked about the force needed to start a spinner or zoomer. Here are a few photos:
