Day 1883 | Our Home

The boys and I have been doing some pretty great work for the past few weeks. I try not to share too much of that because I don’t think it helps the psyche of everyone else right now. I constantly feel like I’m not doing enough when I look at other people’s posts and I don’t want to make anyone feel that way (not that anyone else is doing it intentionally).

Having said that, I will share bits and pieces along the way when I come across a project I really [truly] love. This is one of them.

I decided to do a geography theme this week…talking about the places around us. Monday’s activity was rooting the boys in how we fit into the bigger world. I got the idea from this blog. I was worried our eight year old would find this too “young” for him but I was surprised that he couldn’t actually answer all of these questions either. Interesting, right?

Both boys enjoyed putting these together and it was a great cutting and printing activity besides (needed for both my kindergartener and second grader). Plus, I really like the visual of how our little life fits into the bigger world.
