We are enjoying our 70 degree December days! Today is December 3rd, and Addy and Luke wanted to play at the pond. After a while, they asked if they could take off their shoes and socks and squish their toes in the mud. They pretended that they were wearing black shoes. When they found a deeper spot and sunk in a bit, they were thrilled to be wearing boots! You can sort of tell in the picture that they have mud up to their knees.
One of the books we are reading this year for geography is called "Paddle to the Sea." Both kids love that book and when we go to this pond they like to throw little logs and sticks in the water and say, "Look! It's paddle to the sea!" The book is about a little boy who carves a canoe out of wood and leaves it in the snow up by the Great Lakes in Canada. We follow it as the snow melts and it travels along Lake Superior. We learn about where it goes and what it sees as it floats along.
It is fun to learn alongside the kids. 1st grade is really interesting!
