Week Eleven -- To the Moon and Back




Know what's fun?

Eating Oreos.

And that made learning about the phases of the moon far more interesting. For the next few weeks we'll be journaling the moon and it's phases and using the awesome Star Walk iphone App to discover even more of what's hanging up in the sky. Thankfully Spain and its rain are cooperating with us this season.

November is Native American Heritage month and Little Bug had the privilege of hanging out with his Great Grandpa Larvie this summer--a Lakota member of the Souix tribe. We decided to learn a little more about the Lakota people by working on a diorama over the next two weeks. We built a tipi (or tepee) to place inside and labeled things like the sun, tree, and water with the proper Lakota vocabulary.









We used the opportunity for a journal prompt where Little Bug decided that if he lived in a tepee he would sleep. I guess he doesn't feel the same living in our house as sleep seems to be his least favorite activity. Ever ;)









On Friday we fueled up the rocketship and flew on over to Venus. Cole decided to make it a short visit because of all the volcanoes and, you know, the 400 + degree Celsius temps. Smart kid.
