Rivers

Home school has been going well. Even yesterday which was a personally hectic and emotional day we somehow had a great school day. Will helped with all the chores, we read another chapter of the Best Christmas Pageant Ever, we read scriptures, Will worked on a book report, he wrote a 4 page book with great paragraphs and illustrations (I didn't even ask him to do it, he just did it during closet time!!), and we studied rivers. For a little activity and to show will how tributaries flow together into rivers I used this fun activity I had used when teaching 4th grade a million years ago. You crumple up butcher paper and tape it down to create a mountainous land form then line the ridges with goo style food coloring and then spray with water (rain) and watch tributaries flow into rivers and empty into and create lakes in land basins! Will really enjoyed this little project and at the end of the day when we asked what his favorite part of today was this little ditty got the prize. Super fun and another great school day!!!
