Geography Lessons

Jacob got this puzzle that is a map of the United States for his birthday. He loves it and for a while was doing the puzzle five times a day. He does the whole thing himself and he can name about half the states. He still loves to talk about all the states we went to on our trip and all different facts about the states.

Forgotten

I totally forgot to post about this, but in early October we did our first official homeschool group activity, or whatever you want to call it. A local nature preserve was hosting a hike which was to feature muskrats. We only got there about 20 minutes late, but we found the group and caught up with them. Papa came with us and we had a great time. We didn't really see any muskrats, but the tour took a turn as other little 'teaching moments' came up so we did see a lot of interesting stuff. Jacob also took a bunch of pictures on Jamie's camera on this little excursion.
