FIAR: Read TSAP
Science: J & P
Animal Kingdom - Discussed the animal kingdom and everything we learned about ducks through this story. Environmental necessities, eating habits, etc.
Buoyancy - Discussed why boy with barrel on his back (from story) would float. Then did experiment on things that float - filled clear Tupperware with water and tested: cork, styrofoam ball, wooden spoon, hard rubber ball, tennis ball, pencil, rock, shell, quarter. Asked before test what they thought would float and what would sink. They got about half right. As each object was tested we would discuss why it floated or sank. The thought this was pretty much the most fun thing ever.
Safety - Discussed life-jackets (modern day barrel) and why they are important to use.
Reflection of light - Discussed what a reflection is and asked what things aside from water reflect light and why.

Money - gave him groups of coins to add, then gave him the coins and an amount of cents and he had to put the group of coins together himself. Still needs work. Told him we could play 'shop' tomorrow.

Excellent job. I love how the Story of Ping is used as the spine that holds the curriculum together. Very cool.
