Geography Fair

(Click in the picture to go to an album)

Here are some pics from the Geography Fair that was organized by a coop group of homeschoolers, It was really nice because the kids got passports that were stamped when visiting each country, they had there about 10 countries, and they gave us some questions and we had to discover the answers.. It was really fun, specially because they had food testing ;0)... The kids loved it! and we learned a lot that day...

I also "had" to post some pictures of Vincent's boat.. he has been working in this project since last summer...(yes, ONE year ), and he keeps adding new things... started as a piece of wood, the he realized it would be better if hallow, then put a sail on it..Then it went to the side when it was in the water so he added a weight in the bottom, and like that, every time, he thinks :"it could work better "if""..... so there goes a new addition to the boat.. now in a garage sell , he found a really big book of boats, so he has been looking at it every day... figuring out how to improve his own.. I will keep posting pictures about this.. I am really intrigued about how this will end, ( I'm pretty sure he will want to add some kind of remote control to this.. LOL)

Aca hay algunas fotos de una feria de Geografia que fue organizada por un grupo de homeschoolers al que pertenezco, fue bien entretenido porque al llegar alla, a cada nino le daban un pasaporte que era estampado al visitar cada pais.. tenian un total de 10 o 12 paises mas o menos, y tambien teniamos que responder unas preguntas de cada pais y si las respondias todas al final te daban un premio... muy bello e interesante todo... me gusto mucho ver la dedicacion con la que presentaron cada uno de los paises, y en cada pais tenian degustacion de comidas tipicas!.. que rico todo! comimos desde Sushi, a Paella y hasta unas sopas frias de Lituania... Vimos como hicieron explotar un volcan en Islandia, etc, etc...

Ademas aca quise poner unas fotos del barco en el que Vincent ha estado trabajando desde el ano pasado... ( si, un ano ya), es increible.. comenzo como un pedazo de madera al que le puso una vela, de ahi se dio cuenta de que mejor lo ahuecaba asi que lo tallo por dentro.. despues , que en el agua se iba hacia un lado, asi que le puso un peso en el fondo.. y asi, poco a poco lo ha ido arreglando para que flote como un campeon!... Seguire poniendo fotos de este projecto de Vincent, porque estoy super intrigada en que ira a terminar todo esto...Me imagino que en algun momento le va a querer poner un motor a control remoto!
