Wii Learn



This week has been a mixture of things for Monkey. I've spent most of our school time helping Bear with math. Bear has been learning a lot of new concepts this week. I was surprised that he is already learning how to carry in addition. Time flies.

Anyway, we have been doing a Digital Photography Unit by Amanda Bennett, this month. I'm really enjoying it and Bear has gotten a lot out of it. Although I was surprised at how much Monkey has enjoyed it also! I was able to give him our old digital camera to take some pictures of different things. One day I gave him an assignment to take a picture of something that was white. I just knew he would pick snow...

...instead he choose the Wii-mote. He even carefully laid it on the floor to make a better view. (which he learned from his big brother) Another day, we were visiting my mom and she gave the boys new legos! The boys had a lot of fun putting the Ben10 character together. Luckily I had a camera with me for Monkey to borrow :)

It has been really neat to see what the boys enjoy. This unit has helped me see things through their eyes.

Our kiddos love the wii too ~ and love to get ahold of my camera! :) It would be great if we had something small they could use...rather than trying to grab and use mine!

Wow, it's fascinating that your little one can photograph so very well. It's amazing to be able to look at the world through their eyes - great post.

Amy ~ Some of the geography books I've purchased used, borrowed from the library, borrowed from friends, or just plain broke down and purchased from Amazon! :) There are some that we use over and over weekly. Hope that helps you out~
