Posted in Sketches
We have been reading A Child's Geography
by Anne Voskamp.  I'm really enjoying it-and so are the kids.
Before Christmas we read a lesson about tides.  For the first time in my life I understood how they worked.  I always knew if had something to do with the moon and magnetism.  Anyhow, she described it in such a way that it made sense to me.  She said it was like a big elastic band stretched around the Earth and the Moon and the pull is what causes the tides. 
Anyhow, I guess my dd really understood it too.  Without me asking her, she drew this picture on our wipe-off board. 

P1010829

My dd then proceeded to explain to me, in her own words, how tides worked, while describing what she had drawn.
What a good example of the beauty of homeschooling!!

And I'm tagging you. I picked you randomly but also because we are dragging out our oceanography unit and I can't wait to show my kids the picture and maybe check out the geography book you talked about. Anyway, instructions for the tag are on my blog.
