Todays other work...

Before our trip to Ijams we had some other stuff to get out of the way. The boring stuff. Well only if you think learning is boring.
Both Lotus & Killian worked in their lifepac workbooks. Lotus also practiced her spelling words online using Spelling City. Then Killian did an online study of the Erie Canal & wrote a report on it. Lotus did ch. 2 of The Story of the USA & worked on learning the continents & oceans. Later we all read the preface & ch. 1 of "Walk the Worlds Rim". Very cool stuff.
At breakfast we continued our study of John & then the kids worked on memorizing their memory verse. This was a very special time for us. Especially when Killian narrated the whole thing back to me. It was incredible how much detail Killian remembered from the story, but Im starting to see that this is how Killian learns best. Lotus on the other hand does better when she can read it for herself. Its amazing how different two kids can be.
We also had a question come up that we are going to explore further...
-Why does fog form over bodies of water? (Each one of us gave our hypothesis, but we are going to do some research & possible experiment to figure it out for ourselves.)
This will be a great thing for Killian to research & then share his findings.
