Shedd Aquarium | Follow Up

I thought I’d stick with the aquarium theme for a few days after visiting the Shedd. Nothing big or formal. We borrowed Life-Size Aquarium from the library before our visit. Ignacio read his Dive into the Ocean issue of Chirp Magazine on the way to the aquarium. Back home, we saw Dolphins: IMAX on Netflix the next day. I also left a stack of ocean related books on the kitchen table, Ignacio was free to read from them as he pleased. I took care of my three year old nephew for a few hours that week, Ignacio had a good time “teaching” him about the ocean.


Books we read:

Usborne’s First Encyclopedia of Seas & Oceans by Ben Denne
Usborne’s 1001 Things to Spot in the Sea by Katie Daynes
Usborne’s See Under the Sea by Kate Davies
Life-Size Aquarium by Teruyuki Komiya

¡Hola! Pronto volvere a escribir en mi blog. Justo pensaba en escribir un "post" entero sobre geografia. A Ignacio le encantan los mapas, tenemos varios en la casa. Tiene cuadernos que compre por un dolar en Target. Tambien tiene varios rompecabezas. Pero lo que mas le ayudo a aprender todos los estados son los libros "The Scrambled States of America" y "The Scrambled States of America Talent Show" por Laurie Keller. Le encantan y tambien hay un DVD. ¡Saludos!
