HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RANAE!
HISTORY - learned about Buddhism and Siddhartha (the Buddha). They learned that Buddhists don't worship gods they just expect everyone to live good lives. I added some information about how Buddhists meditate and that it's a form of prayer. They were really interested to learn that there's a Buddhists temple in Goodyear and that I've actually seen the monks at Costco! They were intrigued with the idea of giving away your wordly possessions to the poor and traveling amoung the common people. We talked about how having too much and having too easy a life can make a person lazy or dissatisfied (bored) and how hard work makes you stronger. Just wanted you to know in case it comes up!
They answered the assessment questions online and got them all right.
We didn't do science, but they spent most of the day really involved in creating the Indian village. They used their history books as reference and I whittled some sticks into spears for hunting. They tried making tomahawks, too. So it was a productive day, despite the potty talk and silliness. I think it's spring fever....
