Hugo Estrada's House of Wonder

Here is a quick update on what we did yesterday.

1. Yesterday Isabella was introduced to the magical world of the Greek alphabet. I will see how far we can go into learning classical Greek as a father-daughter project. I see that it will be very, very slow :P

2. Isabella also created a bungie cord out of rubber bands. Lesson after conducting tests with a Pooh toy: it could be dangerous if humans tried it. Then she worked on a zip line model for Pooh.

3. We worked on bridges too. Isabella learned about different types of bridges, and we conducted an experiment on structure. She got to learn about precision in measuring instruments, margin of error, worked on multiplication and division, how changing the structure of paper can increase its structural strength. Did you know that by making to folds, a piece of paper can hold over 200 grams?

4. Leadership training. I granted permission to Isabella to tell her younger brother what to do. I keep giving her tips on how to make him want to do what she needs to do, which is cleaning up after their own messes.

It was a good day.
