Mother Earth

Now that we have talked about the vastness that is our Universe, it's time to start talking a little more close to home.

She is doing three part cards of the interior of the Earth. Notice how she's checking her work by using the model.

One of our art lessons right now is to make a clay model of the earth. Yellow in the middle, then a layer of orange, then red, then blue, then a little bit of green to represent the continents. After it dries we cut it in half!

This is an excellent book about our Earth. Of course we have plenty around the classroom!
