We did have school yesterday, but I didn't have time to update my blog.

Five in a Row - The Giraffe Who Walked to Paris
Yesterday, we read the book and that was all we could do. It's a long read for a 5 year-old! He really enjoyed the book. In fact, I think this might be his favorite so far next to The Story of Ferdinand. We talked about Egypt, pyramids, what's inside pyramids...we watched a National Geographic video on giraffes. We studied how they walk compared to how horses walk. Finally, we studied sails (on ships). We made aluminum foil "ships" and attached sails to them. We blew air at the sails and they floated around in a baking dish full of water.
