New York

The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge is based on a scene the author witnessed in New York. So, yesterday Mane & I found New York on the map, printed a map of the U.S. and colored in New York for her school notebook. She got out her big 50 States coloring book and colored the page about New York, which included the New York state flag and the state flower. Mane put various pictures related to New York in her school notebook.

We read more about Przewalski horses, the last remaining breed of wild horses. Mango was very interested in the differences in chromosomes between Przewalski horses and the rest of the horses in the world. We talked all about Przewalski horses over dinner with Mango.

In the afternoon Mane played with a friend of hers for several hours - building with train tracks, jumping in the beanbag, and making crafts.

Today we went on a long bike ride to a park. Then we got back to practice reading, and Mane took test 1 for MUS Beta. She finished some coloring on the New York page, and we did an art lesson from Drawing with Children. Now Mane is listening to All of a Kind Family on itunes, and I'm putting together some books to read to her about New York a little later today.
