Beach week!

    So, this week we are hanging out on Tybee Island with extended family. We've  sorta paused in our curriculum. We've been doing some schooling though not a formal sit down. Girls are reading and doing oral response. We've done lots of marine science exploration . Yesterday, we saw all kinds of wild life at the beach. We are staying on the marsh and have had real good view of how the tides effect them. Thursday we took a dolphin tour and had a very nice Mate, who gave us lots of information about the dolphins and other animals we saw.
    We have a great view of the shipping lanes from the port of Savannah. So, with some research, we've been able to find what country's flag each container ship sails under, and where they've been or where they are headed next. Kinda fun to know the ship we saw on Monday in Savannah  hit Jacksonville, & Miami on the way to Kingston , Jamaica. Math has been informal as well. The pool table has had all kinds of lessons about angles and even Hulk had to get into the act with number recognition when calling his "shots".
    All in all I would say a very memorable and relaxing week ;)
