Today, we had to draw the continents on an orange, then peel it to see how difficult it is to take a sphere and make it into a flat map. Of course, this exercise was not without annoying orange jokes!
(if you've never seen an Annoying Orange video on YouTube, they're pretty funny.) |

| AFTER |
We learned that on a flat map, the sizes of the continents are not proportioned accurately. Greenland is much bigger on a map, than on a globe, for example.
I am amazed that we can do all of our subjects, AND have time to cut up a bunch of magazines and make a huge mess and get it all done by noon!

| Our weekly memory verse. |
Again, we sang hello, in 9 different languages.
This is a huge hit with all the kids except Bella... Click here for a sample.
I think it just might grow on her by the end of the week! LOL!
Of course there's lots more we learned today, but I won't bore you with the details of sentence structures and addition /subtraction review.
I am excited for our assignments at the end of the week. We'll see you then...
