Panda Academy: Where Teacher is Spelled M-O-M-M-Y

• Mar. 23, 2008 - Gifted Ed and Geography

Gifted Education/Critical Thinking - Evan-Moore's Thinking Skills and Thinking Activities. In the middle is Fun With Logic which didn't look as cool up close as it did in the samples I saw online. In the back is one of the Thinking Skills activities all nicely put into a folder, a list of other things one can do in the subject such as games that obviously wouldn't fit into the bin, and a Mystery Folder which will one day actually contain fun lessons that I'll make up for him. Geography - so much old and new that you can't fit it into just one picture. In the back we have: 2 folders containing Evan-Moor Geography Centers, one of 3 geography bins (there's still more on the bookshelf mind you.) Left-hand row back to front: Evan-Moor's Geography Centers workbook, Evan-Moor's Geography Units on Antartica, Asia, Australia, and Europe. Middle row: a cool not-sure-what-company World Geography wrkbk I picked up years ago, Spectrum Geography - World, grade 6, a cool "search and learn" book with interesting facts about the countries of the world, and Animaniacs Vol. 1 because it contains the fun and educational song listing all the countries of the world. (Dh works with a woman who learned her countries this way. ) Right row: Rand McNally's Children's Atlas of the World and DK's How People Live. I'll give the highlights here since there's a ton of books here. K. has a fascination with China and Japan since that's were video games come from. He also loves Australia. I have this weird fascination with Canada because of the TV show Due South, the fact that I really want to show K. more of the country than Niagra Falls. So we have all sorts of books on these countries. In front is a set of lightunits I special ordered from the sweetest grandmothery lady from the CLE booth last year. In back is a really cool book on China that I purchased from Rainbow Rescource. (I noticed today that it's in the Winter Promise catalog.) The book is far more than I expected it to be! Here we have some United States geography materials You can barely see upfront on the right a book I bought on Puerto Rico (from Rainbow Rescource) since dh's parents are from there. Behind it is a charming book called Miffy Loves New York City. (We live an hour's train ride from there.) And that concludes this entry. We'll start with History on the next one. ~Heidi
