Ivan launching his boat
We did letter B today, for boats. One of my kids' favorite thing to do when the weather is nice is float boats down the little man-made stream on campus. We haven't done it nearly enough this summer, so I decided that's what we'd do for B day. I made the boats out of some extra craft Styrofoam that I had in the craft cupboard, but you can buy craft Styrofoam at Walmart pretty cheap. I used a wooden shisk-kabob stick cut in half for two of the masts, and drinking straws for the other two (because I only had one kabob stick left). The sail is construction paper.
We usually sail boats at the North campus duckpond, but they are doing a lot of construction over there at the moment. So we opted to check out the new south campus duck pond and stream that we haven't seen yet. They have wooden walk ways all around the duck pond, which make it MUCH nicer and more sanitary. The new stream is beautiful and has little waterfalls every few feet. We're going to have to take Aaron back there one of these days.
We sang all three verses of Row, Row, Row Your Boat which go like this:
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily
Life is but a dream.
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a crocodile
Don't forget to scream! Ahhh!
Row, row, row your boat
Underneath the stream
Ha ha I fooled you
I'm a submarine.
