fairy talent science

We have a lot of Tinkerbell fans at our house, so I've decided to use that to our advantage. For the fall and into the winter, we're planning science, art, and even spelling around the fairy talents from the Tinkerbell movies:

water   light   animals   the weather   speed   

flight   gardens   snow and ice   healing   

baking   sewing   tinkering

We're spending this week coming up with 5 questions, experiments, or projects for each section as well as a spelling list. We might even be able to get some field trips worked in there, like to the New England Air Museum when we study flight. I'm writing all of our subjects on slips of paper and putting them in a jar - on Friday, we'll draw out one to see what we'll work on for the next week. If we want to keep going with something for multiple weeks, that's up to the girls. But we'll spend at least one week on each thing. And that will take us through the end of our 2014 school year with probably some overlap into next year. They're all kinds of excited about fairy talent science!
