Introducing......Mr. Latitude
& Mr. Longitude
Thumper's Strip Map of his house leading to the
shed. I think he did an absolute beautiful job!
Learning about the
Compass and the Poles
We made a water compass using a sewing needle,
bowl of water, magnet, and a bit of paper. Thumper rubbed his needle across his
magnet in one direction 60 times, layed it on the paper, then gently bumped the
paper to where it was spinning, and when it stopped the needle was pointing
NORTH! This was cool!
Now he's just playing with the magnet and
needle.
Learning about the
Continents.....Listened to the Geography Song (Oceans & Continents). We
found all the continents on the globe and map, too!
Finished with this
right before Christmas Break! Onto American and World Study after break!
