Moving Beyond The Page Update

Madeline has been working on the "Moving Beyond the Page" curriculum this year.  We have been progressing slower than the curriculum lay out, mostly because Madeline wants to spend more time on the lessons.  The curriculum lends itself well to discussion, and we tend to spend time expanding on the topics in the curriculum.  We were recently talking about needs and wants. One of the "needs" Madeline listed was, of course, a home.  This lead to a discussion about different kinds of houses and shelters people live in around the world.  We ended up searching the internet for pictures of homes around the world.  Here are a couple of the websites that we found that were interesting:
