StoryPath

Today we did story path in class. It was the most fun I've had in a long time with the girls at our table. We got a little carried away by what we were doing and that is one of the issues a teacher would have to deal with when doing this activity. Keeping students on task is very important. This is a very fun and interactive way to teach students and keep them excited about new material.

geography and 2 year olds

The video clip we watched of Lily was amazing to me. She was pointing out countries that I couldn't even tell you what continent they are on. LOL. So, I've decided it might be a good idea to brush up on my geography. I found a really good quiz that has different levels. Using this link, http://www.lizardpoint.com/fun/geoquiz/worldquiz.html, you can do the world quiz, which is continents and oceans. There are also options to do each continent, countries, and capitals. This is a very good quiz and is user friendly enough for kids to use too.

geocaching

Geocaching is a good way for families to spend time together outdoors. Many kids really enjoy the treasure hunt aspect. I think it would be a neat idea to make a treasure map for the kids to use when you get in the general area of the cache. You could even have them write a story about their trip if you were doing this as a classroom activity.
