Comments Off on Hot Springs National Park

Some water springs come from melting snow coming down from the mountains. Those are usually cold. And then there are springs where the water comes up from deep inside the earth – and those are usually hot! In Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas the water comes out of the earth at 143 degrees Fahrenheit or 62 degrees Celsius. That means Sophie had better be really careful about sticking her toes in! Native American tribes had been going to the […]

Sophie and Sadie are back in Cleveland for the fireworks! They got an awesome view! The Chinese were the first to invent fireworks over 2000 years ago!

Comments Off on Mammoth Cave

Good thing Sophie and Sadie have those flashlights on their helmets – caves can get very dark! Mammoth Cave is a National Park in Kentucky – and it is the longest cave in the world! It have more than 400 miles of cave passages. That would take a long time to get through! The funny thing is, no one has found any Woolly Mammoths in the cave – the name comes from how big some of the openings are! Click […]

Sophie and Sadie are off to Maine! To Acadia National Park – the first national park east of the Mississippi River. Since it is on the Atlantic Ocean, there’s water and land things to do – and a lighthouse! And whales! I’m not sure whether Sadie is waving to Sophie or trying to warn her about the whales…good thing they are friendly!

Comments Off on 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 […]

Comments Off on Quiet!

It does seem like Sadie is trying to be quiet! When you’re in the library ‘shh’ is something you hear a lot. ‘Shh’ probably comes from the word hush or shush – and those words come from the Middle English word huisst that is pronounced ‘wheesht.’ Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

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 […]
