Great Fights By Dagan Age 6

Great Fights By Dagan 

Great and his brother Guild find a guy who needs to go to the hospital.

He drives him to the hospital. ZZZsssshhhh.

He tests him with all his tools. He's o.k.

He drives back to go fight.

He slashes the big bad guy.

He reflects all the guns.

He finds a dungeon door.

The map of the dungeon temple.

He jumps over the lava.

He finds a group of friends. "Pop!" came Little Weenie. Then "Pop!" came Clean. He finds Great who went through a hole earlier.

All of them were sad except for Great and Guild because Great found a button.

Can you find what it equals?

Can you find what it minuses?

Can you find which one is different?

I will fight this monster. Hiiiiya! Great wins and his friends win too.

Great walks home to do more art.

Passion Fruit

 Juicing the passion fruit and tasting the seeds

Chocolate Passion Fruit Profiteroles

I found 3 varieties of passion fruit at the local grocery store. The boys observed each one, sliced them with their kid's chef knife, scooped out the seeds and extracted the juice. The juice was used in the making of chocolate passion fruit pastry cream which filled chocolate profiteroles I made this week. We also ate the pastry cream spread on scones for breakfast. 

They tasted each variety of seeds as well as the juice blended all together which was sweet and tart. We talked about Aunty Eri's passion fruit flowers and also discussed other flavors that pair well with it such as mango, chocolate or coconut. They were surprised that the seeds were the part that were eaten and that the rest is thrown away since a fruit like apples, the skin and flesh are eaten and the seeds thrown away.  They described passion fruit seeds as crunchy, sour and sweet.

Rainbows

Sage loves drawing in rainbow colors. This week we studied rainbows. We sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Rainbow Connection". We learned that you can put c.d.'s on the floor upside down in the sun and create rainbows. We saw a science project where you use flashlights and water to create rainbows. We colored rainbow pictures and made rainbow cupcakes. We talked about color mixing and used blue and red to make the purple in the cupcakes. We used the scale to measure out ingredients and he had so much fun placing other things on the scale as well.
