Leaving Home


There is a time to do research and there is a time to head out and take action! Sophie and Sadie are off on their summer adventure visiting the US National Parks. So exciting! We love taking trips. And when you take a trip, you have to pack things to take along…like underwear, for example. And that’s where luggage comes in handy! It comes from the word to lug – which is what people did before someone thought to put […]

Book Spine


Did you know that books have spines just like people have spines!? It’s the part of the book where all the pages come together – and a lot of times that’s where the title is so we can see it easily when it’s on a shelf. Sophie and Sadie sure do have a lot of books they are looking at in the library! I think I’m starting to understand what they are planning to do this summer! Click on the […]

Library


More research! Computers are one way to do research and books are another way – and they are just fun to read as well. Libraries are so amazing – and did you know that there are more libraries in the US than there are McDonald’s restaurants?!

Computer


I have a feeling Sophie and Sadie are hatching a plan and doing some research on the computer. There really isn’t much to say about computers, other then we’re glad they exist so we can be in touch with you!

Elevator


Elevators have been around for a long time – but they weren’t always powered by electricity! In the ancient Roman Colosseum, there were 24 elevators that were powered by slaves pulling ropes. There is even evidence of elevators in ancient Egypt and even earlier. Looks like Sophie and Sadie are going up – but to where?

Opening the door to


Where do you think Sophie and Sadie are going? That’s a pretty big door! Not as big as the one in Florida at the NASA Kennedy Space Center. That door is so big (456 feet or 139 meters) that it takes 45 minutes to open or close them!

Pine Cones


Seeds for growing new trees grow in the pine cone. They start off soft and green and sticky and then grow into hard brown cones to protect the seeds. After a few years, they open up and the wind blows the seeds out! Pine cones come in all different sizes – from as small as your little finger to as long as your arm and from weighing almost nothing to weighing 10 pounds! The ones Sophie and Sadie found look […]

Monarch butterfly


There are so many interesting things to learn about Monarch butterflies! Did you know they can fly up to 2,000 miles to spend the winter in Mexico? They can even fly all the way across the Atlantic ocean! But when it comes time to lay their eggs, they fly to North America and look for Milkweed plants. The caterpillars (before they turn into butterflies) can eat a whole leaf off the Milkweed plant in less than 4 minutes! Click on […]

Collage – Matisse, Icarus, and Sadie


People have been making collages for hundreds of years – but it was artists including Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso that brought it to modern art. A famous collage by Matisse is called Icarus, who in Greek Mythology was the one who wanted to fly. I want to to – and I think Sadie does also! How about you? The word collage comes from the French word for glue. You don’t have to actually use glue to make a collage […]
