Tuesday in which I speak Lavoisier

This morning was confused. Chris had an early devotional with us, then everyone scattered to do their morning chores. We didn't really get gathered until 9:15

Devotional take 2-I like having already read the Book of Mormon with dad. We read scriptures from the topical guide under Potter, as the children painted their pottery, or paper, or themselves...we talked about ourselves as clay and how we would feel if our creations suddenly spoke and said we didn't make them.

Learning time: They continued to paint, while I told them about what I have read in Lavoisier. I explained states of matter again and atmospheric pressure. We talked about heat, bonds and atmospheric pressure and how they compete to spearate or join particles. We talked about naming Oxygen and Nitrogen. I showed the pictures his wife had drawn adn explained a little about his life...They were mostly painting, but did pause at some parts...especially if they had heard about it before while I was reading it.
