We explored the layers of the Earth with playdough. We also read Planet Earth, Inside Out by Gail Gibbons. It was a little long for the attention span of a 6 year old but was interesting. It would have been better to split into 2 parts. The second half covers volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis, which would make for a good second lesson.

Simple Machines
We have been easing back into our routine in preparation for school next month. We read this book and made several machines with LEGOs. It was a lot of fun to look at other LEGO creations and make our own to go with C’s hotel and playground.

We used a pulley to get more people to his LEGO hotel.
