Junior started a unit on elephants during our school session today. He had a great time looking at pictures of elephants, reading about them, and using a measuring tape to see how big they are.
We looked at their tusks and measured how big they would be and compared them to our teeth. Junior thought that was quite funny. Then for fun we did an experiment which uses chemical reactions to make elephant "toothpaste"(foam).
He helped me mix the various ingredients and then we poured them in the bottle to watch the reaction. Of course you can't have toothpaste without a toothbrush and since it is elephant "toothpaste" we needed a really big toothbrush.
A couple pictures from the collage by themselves so they are easier to see.

Ipad fun, he was matching sounds to the animals. He was being a goof and pretending to sleep when I grabbed the camera.

That is really neat, Junior. But I don't think you will be able to borrow the toothbrush!!!
