Heart Math, Shiny Pennies, Our 1st President

We are working on sharpening our estimation skills.
We all measured between 11 & 1/2 to 13 hearts tall!
After measuring ourselves, we checked out the heights of a few animal pals.



We hypothesized that Coke would remove the grime from a penny.
Each child was given a tiny cup, dirty penny, and splash of Coke.
WOW!  We saw very shiny pennies at the end of the day.
Then, we wondered if diet Coke would work as well as the original version.
Hhhmmm.....

Do you recognize George Washington?
In these pictures, he hasn't yet received his cotton ball hair!
I think the children did an amazing job of capturing the correct size 
and placement of facial features in a portrait!
