ASIMO Robot & Egypt

Have you all met ASIMO? http://asimo.honda.com/ Mane and I were reading more about Japan - about how they eat a lot of fish and rice, and they're know for being the world leaders in robot technology. We discovered ASIMO, which is a humanoid robot made buy Honda, and we happily spent about an hour reading and watching youtube videos of ASIMO. This led to long conversations of whether robots can really "think" and how difficult it is to program things like walking.



We also read chapter 2 of Story of the World about early Egypt, the red crown, the white crown, and the double crown. We found Egypt, the Nile river, and the Nile delta on the world map, too. Today we'll read some supplementary books about Egypt and add some things to the history binder about Egypt.

Next week Mane will be staying with her grandparents while we go to Mexico. So, Peregrin House will be kind of quiet. I think they'll do some math & reading together and probably check out some of the library books from the library book bag in our living room about Egypt & Valentine's Day.
