City Planning

 Keeping Erik busy is definitely the hardest part of homeschooling for me.  Today he played with beans for a good chunk of time.  Of course Ryan could barely wait for a break so he could join in.  Erik had done a pretty good job of keeping the beans on or near the tray…2011-10-05_003

Cleaning up was not nearly as fun for him.

We finally started some geography.  I decided to let Ryan try an old map program I’ve had for a long time.  He loved it!  He actually has some ‘city planner’ genes in him.

 2011-10-05_012  I was super pleased with how well Ryan did all by himself.  He showed Harvey his map and explained what everything was and his thinking process about EVERYTHING.  A little while later I came out of the bedroom and Harv was teaching him how to do SimCity…with a volcano erupting near the town of course.  So we’ll see if Ryan can go back to the old Map Machine!
