This morning, as we were getting up and moving before starting our lessons, we watched an episode of "Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That". This particular episode focused on Salmon and the journey they take to spawn. The kids were fascinated with the idea that Salmon could jump up waterfalls ( which I had no idea about by the way.. cool!) So after watching this, we looked up articles and read them together, then watched you tube videos of actual Salmon Runs for another 30 minutes or so after that... this will be one of our to be continued lessons, as I continue to find resources and hopefully some sort of field trip relating to it... I guess our time looking at the fish and Bass pro shops this weekend, doesn't count! Haha!
Here is a link to the video that we liked the most:
On another note however, we are flying to visit Chicago this weekend.. and have already carved out time to go to the Field museum (so excited to see Sue the T- Rex!), hopefully the Shedd Aquarium, and a Bulls game! yay!! we will put up pictures and tell you what we found when we return!
