Dragon Tails and Snails

On Blueberry Hill

We did an activity yesterday to show the relationship between landforms and topographic maps. Ultimately, the kids used a 3D model and then had to map it onto a 2D surface (transparency). The work with the exacto knife paid off! I named mine "Blueberry Hill". :)

I love this project....

Variations on a theme....

"I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

--Sir Isaac Newton

Dancer in the Dark

I am coming to realize that a good measure of how happy I am depends upon how frequently I close the blinds and dance around the house by myself.  

"Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free.  At night I lock the doors where no one else can see...."

Gone Marbles!
