Week 2 Day 2 - Where Do You Live?

Unfortunately it was raining here for a little while, so we had to figure out an indoor activity for today. I had planned on taking my kiddies on a nature walk through the woods.  We just need to move that to tomorrow or the next day.

As for today, we learned about various climates and did an activity. I actually found a really helpful website that explains all the various climates and the characteristics of each. Here it is: http://www.uwsp.edu/geo/faculty/ritter/geog101/uwsp_lectures/climates_toc.html

We browsed through this site and tried to figure out what type of climate we live in. The closest we could figure is the Humid Continental Climate.

In addition to learning about climates we also decided to plant some seeds. We had pumpkin seeds that we saved from Halloween. Yes we actually saved them from this Halloween.  I intended to plant them in my garden, but ran out of space to plant them. Now I'll have a week or so to find a place to plant them. :-)

Here is the girls adding dirt to the cups.

They put 2 seeds in each cup. We will thin out the seedlings when they grow some.

Have fun and see you tomorrow.
