I just love impromptu lessons!  I think the kids retain and enjoy a lesson more when it’s spontaneous and even better, something they think of all on their own.  One day recently, Parker was looking through some landmark cards that we got in the dollar bin of Target last summer.  Each card has a picture of a famous landmark and a description of the landmark.  The card also shows what country the landmark is in.  After looking at the cards for a few minutes he decideds to get out his Leap Frog Globe.  With the globe, he could listen to music from the country, learn it’s capitol, and even how far by plane the landmark is from Virginia.  Pretty neat!
