A couple days ago we read the introduction and first few pages of our new world history book together. We learned about what history means, the dating systems used, and how we know what we know. We are also reading about archaeologists and historians.
Yesterday Georgia signed up at the National Parks Service (NPS) Webrangers site. She has her own ranger station and can complete different tasks to earn badges. Between yesterday and today she has earned nine badges. She loves it. She also sent her mom, dad, and sister an e-card through their site. She loves the webcam section where she can view webcams from parks all over the country. She likes looking at the weather charts and noting the differences in temperatures, visibility, humidity, etc.
Some of the badges she earned dealt with archaeology and our past. The NPS also has a great website called Archaeology for Kids. It has a lot of information about what archaeologists do, how they work, and the various fields within archaeology.
