Last week while we were down south, Kerri took the three girls to the Amish store. On their way home, the girls started in with a conversation about the solar system. They’ve been VERY into space lately, so we have gotten lots of library books about all aspects of the solar system. I’m now absolutely certain that they have learned a lot! They were discussing the dwarf planets as well as Ceres (which is the largest asteroid) and left Kerri feeling a little under-educated in the driver’s seat.
As I type, they are all three dissecting the atlas we bought at Barnes & Noble a couple months ago. (Yes, I realize that is not the typical kid-type purchase, but they have enjoyed it more than any other book in the house!) They are discussing, with an incredible amount of emotion, the pros and cons of visiting various places on the planet. Hope just informed her sisters that she does not want to visit Hawaii because they can have everything there: earthquakes, volcanoes, and even TSUNAMIS! Now they are discussing Chile and its climate. It’s amazing how much they can learn about something when they’re really interested. They are expert atlas readers! :)
