No, I am not discussing evolution.
More like eating dessert before dinner.
With the way are choosing to home school, this works for us.
Ruth and I went to see the dinosaurs before they disappeared. Literally, the exhibit ended on Sunday. :o)
What an awesome place to visit. I am glad we went without a group. Ruth was excited to go, and was rocking my shoulder at 7 AM to get a move on. Nope. See lessons below. We got there later than she hoped, and the place was hopping. But, it was not crowded. No concerns for her there. The lines were short for the exhibits. She was able to go from thing to thing and learn at her leisure. We took as much or as little time as she needed. We even stayed in one spot for me to sit and relax at the roof top garden.
Lesson 1:
Mom would like to sleep in on Saturday mornings as long as she can. Not a great idea to wake her before then without a cup of tea.
Lesson 2:
Follow your instincts for best learning. If you are beginning to feel anxious, move on. If a headache is forming, find a quieter exhibit. This works for all of us, and we both have things that we need. Give breaks when asked for, and voila', we want to stay longer.
Lesson 3:
Dinosaurs of my day were dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs today are big bird lizards.
(no, they were not yellow)
T-Rex babies are thought to have feathers like baby chickens.
Imagine that.
Lesson 4:
Learning with hands on is a great way to learn!
We can work on writing skills, and we will.
To start off the school year, field trips rock!
Why do schools wait until the end of the year to do this stuff?
