Connor is learning a lot at school these days...which is obvious by the array of questions I get on our morning trips to school. Sometimes, they can present somewhat of a challenge to me without the quick use of the Internet to "fact-check". Especially, since they are usually in the area of science and engineering. Math and Accounting I can help you with...science and engineering, ask your dad!
The other day I answered some questions about whether the Sun and the Moon is a planet and why we can see the Sun and the Moon at the same time. I now know that the interest in the solar system is based on some new studies and works at school. Per Ms. Beth's blog, they are now exploring space and learning facts about the plant and space exploration. Did you know that Pluto is about the size of the United States? Connor said his favorite planet is Saturn.
I also answered questions about how the wires between the utility poles carry electricity and how they power the lights. Brady wants to know why sometimes they can be seen and sometimes they disappear (underground). Connor wants to know where the snow goes when it melts and reached his own conclusion on why the snow on the road melts faster than the snow on the ground (he said it was from the steam from the cars).
Here are a few pictures of Connor during the day at Montessori...
Connor makes up a song on the xylophone.
One of the works is to match the larger planets with real space photos of our solar system.

Connor traces the sandpaper "f" and checks out the items like flowers, fish, frog, etc.
