Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes Review

Tomorrow for Social Studies we are reviewing our lesson on plate tectonics, and earthquakes. These are two new videos on plate tectonics, for you to share with your children, or students. We hopefully will be having a playdate at the springs, or the park tomorrow afternoon. It is kind of up in the air right now. My roses are going crazy, and have tons of blooms. My hydrangea, well lets just say I don't have much hope for it. My tomatoes have flowers already, and the cukes are moving right along. The kids help water, and feed them on the days we have no rain, which trust me has been a lot lately.

Animal Classification Review

Tomorrow we start our review for Science class. We have to go all the way back to the beginning of the year, and we first started with animal classification. This is sometimes confusing to children, and adults. There is a lot of information to remember. The two videos below help simplify it, and can be used for young children learning animal habitats, like Caitlin.

I am glad it is a new week, last week was kind of stinky. Why does everything happen at once, anyways? Is there some reason stinkiness can't be stretched out over months, rather than it all happening at once? Life is funny sometimes, that is for sure. Of course my stinky week does not compare at all to all those poor people stranded for five days due to the volcano erupting in Iceland, or the many earthquakes people have been experiencing over the last several months.
