Another Day

As promised, here are the photos of the architecture stamping activity:







Before we got down to stamping, Mane watched lesson 2 of MUS, did a couple of practice pages, and took the test. I guess we'll be moving on the lesson 3 tomorrow. She also continued in her Hooked on Phonics book. She told me today that she didn't really like Hooked on Phonics very much when we first got it, but now it's not so bad. ;)

We read some more about New York today from a book called New York: The Empire State by Margery Facklam.We printed a map of New York, traced the outline and the Hudson River, found the Erie Canal, and looked for all the Great Lakes. I also pointed out to Mane that there are two mountain ranges in New York, and one is the Appalachian Mountains, which we studied last year.

Mane requested that we look at the world map and sing the song about the continents. So, we did that, and then we traced how the Great Lakes lead out into the Atlantic Ocean through New York, and we talked about how that affects trade and commerce in New York.
