Learning Adventures....
Saturday
Explorerment
| Living on the Coast can give you a fair share or rainy days, so we having trouble focusing on our studies when blessed with a day of blue skies and warm sun. I decided to pack the kids up and go to a park for a break. It turned out to be an adventure not to be quickly forgotten. We had a great time feeding the ducks, riding scooters and searching for new buds on foliage.
Trying to incorporate a lesson into our outing, we started discussing archaeology and what we were learning about Ancient Civilizations. As we pretended our way through several time periods we imagined what the artifacts might have been for we were finding around the park. It was exciting to see one child plucking rocks from the stream she was sure were used to make paints for hieroglyphics. We ended up on a stage with my children doing Native American dances they invented while I produced drum and singing sound effects. By the end of our trip the kids were begging me to go the library right away and find books on rocks and flowers (this IS out of the ordinary)!
The best part of all was driving away when my youngest said, Mommy, thanks for taking us to the park today. What a trip of explorerment!
