Sleds have been around for a long time! The Inuit people (we used to call them Eskimos but they prefer Inuit) made sleds out of whale bones – but mostly sleds are made out of wood or metal or plastic.

It’s almost January and that means it’s time for fireworks! Different countries and different cultures have different New Years that they celebrate at different times of the year. Here in the United States, just about everyone calls January 1 New Years Day and gets new calendars – and there are lots of fireworks! It was actually Julius Caesar in 45 B.C.E. that decided the calendar officially started on January 1 – although the Romans had been celebrating that day since […]

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.

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.

Sunset, moon rising – both are so amazing. This week was the supermoon, with the moon as close as it will be to the earth until 2034! I’m glad Sophie and Sadie didn’t miss it!

Such a beautiful and fun time of year! All of the beautiful colors and the crunch sounds when you walk through the leaves. And, of course, jumping in leaf piles! Did you know that the color that we see in the fall is actually the true color of the leaf? The summer sun mixes with something called chlorophyll in the leaves that makes the leaf green – but when the sun isn’t as strong and we move towards Fall, the […]
