Since last night was a late night and everyone was dragging a little this morning, we decided to head over to Tamp & Tap (a block away) for breakfast and school!
This actually worked! We got a big study table and were even able to do a little school with Luke before he headed to work. Changing scenery was a hit.
Here are the things we learned today:
1.The first people had to sew their clothes together.
2. Liam says these clothes were dirty and smelly.*
3. Clothes were made out of bison, wooly mammoth, deer.
4. Leaves change color depending on the season.
5. There are 4 seasons. Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring.
6. Fan, Food, Face, Fork, and Flag start with F.
Our letter for this week is F, so we played “I Spy” looking for things that start with F.
*Liam has started picking up on things and likes to try and answer questions with Thomas.
One of my favorite parts of the lesson today, was talking about how people made wool from the animals fur and then made clothes out of this. We have an amazing friend who is STILL making clothes this way! Her name is Han and she is the brains behind http://www.josifaye.com. I pulled up some pieces and we were able to talk about how she makes them.
Home-schooling away from home is definitely an idea worth repeating.
