Third year Day 187 - Wednesday June 18, 2014

Many years ago when the kids were young, I bought some game called Brain Quest.  Brain Quest is a series of educational flashcards that quiz children on a variety of subjects including Science, Math, English, Geology, History and others.  The cards are divided into double decks, sold by the grade, one through six.  Anyway, back then the kids really had fun when I asked them questions, so I thought, why not do them with Bridgett and see what she remembers and where some of the holes are.  Interesting experiment!  I started out with the first grade cards. She breezed through most of the questions, but there were a few notable gaps in her memory.  One of the questions....what is the nations capitol?  She asked me....what is a nation?  Then we had a little discussion on that question.  She did know the answer, once she understood the question.  Another question that she did not remember....which direction would you travel to see Santa Claus?  She couldn't remember that one at all.  After Tyler prompted her that he lived at one of the poles, she remembered the north pole.  Anyway, it was interesting and instructive for me to see what she remembered.  We will continue with a few pages of questions every day.
