Aug. 28, 2009 - Learning along the way....
Mom has been feeling a little under the weather these past weeks. So, learning time has had a more flexible approach. Mason and Payden worked on drawing a map when we read 'Lentil' with Five in Row. With this we talked about compasses and direction. While driving lately I've been asking them what direction we're driving (the mountains out here make that a fairly easy task--they are always to the west.) Mason has gotten quite good and can typically tell me which direction we are going or turning. Today I had him direct me to the store...and he did it! What a great way to learn and test =-)
Here's Mason showing off his earth. This shows the core, lower mantle, upper mantle and crust. Did you know the crust is 6 miles deep? We also learned the inner core's temperature exceeds 5,ooo degrees F.
Payden has been working on the letter 'L.' Here's his cotton ball L's.
Eden doing her thing---she's the first kid we've had that will color for more than 5 minutes.
We're headed for a camping trip this weekend, I'm sure we'll find lots to learn!!
