I just ordered the book “The Fairy-Land of Science” by Arabella Buckley on the recommendation of another CM mama. She said her eight year old daughter is enthralled with it, and she posted an excerpt of the book. It’s fab! So I am anxiously awaiting that from amazon.com, and two other books [...]

I am in love with my new toy. It’s a digital voice recorder. Isn’t is snazzy?

Our special study this week is atoms and molecules. I wanted to build an atom with Super-boy, but lacking the appropriate materials today, we opted for building molecules after a brief discussion on atoms. This subject, by the way, is totally Super-boy’s idea. While I did enjoy chemistry the most out of [...]
