This week we're being pretty casual as we head towards Spring Break. We've been continuing to work on Prime and Composite numbers as well as simple multiplication flash cards. In socials we're continuing to look at latitude, longitude, prime meridian, time zones, etc... Today we also took a quick look at some different types of maps. For example, one that focus on climate, environment, land heights and rivers. Pretty simple and basic stuff. He buzzed right through it.
This afternoon we watched some Planet Earth, specifically caves and deserts. It is so interesting to see how vast and diverse this planet is. I wish we could see it all first hand but for now, this will have to do. Here are some pictures of what we watched.
Limestone caves in Borneo full of bats, stalagmites and stalactite
Letrukia crystal caves in New Mexico USA, with their amazing 6m long crystals in the chandelier ballroom
And deserts of the world, Australia, Africa, Chile. Did you know that 1 third of the earth is desert
Seeing how intricately everything was created and designed is incredible. How every tiny detail works together to keep the planet spinning - crazy!
