She has for months been in the mindset that she can “only” read words, not “books”. Well, today changed everything!! She read the following “books” independently, and enjoyed the animation, as well as the ability to control the story’s direction, in some cases. This is an awesome site for her at this moment of development, […]
Spell That, Color That In, Tsunami's, Water's Energy, and Plate Tectonics
Japan, washed away in a moment of massive energy liberation due to the same. Take a pencil, bend from both ends. Watch… it will break. The earth is no different… but try to explain the shifting of chunks of ground, pressing against each other to the point where they start to bend and eventually break, […]

Physics Anyone?
Open to suggestions as we begin to learn about the physics of magnets, gravity, mass, molecules, force, space, and dimension. She will explain gravity and has shown an awareness of the principles associated with gravity, mass, balance, and force, so I think it’s time we start playing around a bit. This is one area my […]
Early Mathematics, Surprised Me
Today, Lily and I spent the day in Chama, NM. Russ was working on a new site build, so she and I went exploring. We walked a couple miles into town, found basically um, nothing, except a place to have lunch. While at lunch, she and I colored a couple pages full of fairies and […]

Anatomy Answering Session
I don’t usually have a chance to capture the interactions with Lily, unless it’s her idea or she doesn’t know about it. Today she acquiesced. While what follows is just her answering me, not initiating as such (though she initiated the activity originally), there are often times when she begins to talk and inevitably teach those […]
