1. We looked at a book about Italy, introduced G to some of the major Italian landmarks, and found Italy on the world map.
2. We did the same for France and then built our own Eiffel towers out of popsicle sticks. Daddy was the perfect leader for this project!
3. We found Sri Lanka on the world map.
4. We looked at a book about Jamaica (paying special attention to pictures of sugar cane plants).
5. We found Vermont on the US map.
6. We read a great science book called How Do Apples Grow? by Betsy Maestro.
7. We did a science project: Evaporating the water out of salt water and finding out what was left (salt crystals). G even enjoyed a taste test.
8. We made an apple pie and discussed measurements and fractions as we prepared the pie for baking.

Love the Eiffel tower. And I really like the way you teach by doing interesting things, like discussing fractions as you made the pie. This absolutely has to be a better way to learn than by sitting in a classroom all day.
Especially for fidgety boys. :-)
