We are just starting our new social studies unit. Again - this is for the younger kiddos, ages three to four and we are using Sonlight core curriculum. We are reading this book:

| What Do People Do All Day by Richard Scarry |
Richard Scarry is a classic artist and author. This book helps to give youngsters an overview on careers, how a house runs, and mailing a letter, among other things. It also gives children a better perspective of the world around them and how they fit into it.
We started out by talking about a typical town and the careers that are a part of it. It was just a few pages, but it got her thinking - I could see the wheels turning. Then we asked her what she thought she wanted to be when she grew up. She does not know what she wants to be, but she knows she does NOT want to be a teacher. If I had to predict, I would say that Jules will be in some sort of law enforcement or leadership position. Abby wants to be a teacher like Mommy - that apple does not fall far from the tree in many respects.
Next time, we will explore a home and what makes it run. It will be fun to walk her around our own house and show her things like the water heater, plumbing, etc.
We are at Mom's in Virginia for the long weekend, so there is fun to be had.
Laters.
