Sangre, Pottery and Paper making

What we've been doing: It's been a busy few weeks at The Reyes Academy.  Two weeks ago we made blood in Science.

This week we finished books #9 and #10 of the year.  One of the books is A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park.  We attempted to make dough and sculpt it into pots that represent the main characters, but unfortunately because of the humidity the dough never turned into a solid.  So it was an epic fail with good intentions.  

We also made paper while we were learning about Ancient China.  This also gave me an opportunity to talk about recycling and living in a sustainable manner.  Combination of history and Science.  Perfect!
