Australia

We just learned a little about Cardinal Directions.

Just like North America is a continent, there is another continent on the other side of the globe called Australia.

Australia is home to some very special animals like the kangaroo, koala and duck billed platypus!

Sixth Commandment

We just learned the Fifth Commandment about not killing.

The sixth commandment that God gave to Moses is:

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

This means that married people need to love and be faithful to each other.

(from: wikisource - Luther's Small Catechism)


(from: wikipedia - thou shalt not commit adultery)

Milky Way

We just learned about Earth's Seasons.

Let's learn about the Milky Way.

The planet earth that we live revolves around the sun in our solar system.

The sun is one of many stars in our galaxy called the Milky Way


(From: Wikipedia - Milky Way)

It's called the Milky Way because up in the night sky it kind of has a milky white color.

Our galaxy has somewhere from 200 to 400 BILLION stars!

That's a whole lot of zeroes! 200,000,000,000

French - Very good thanks

In French, if someone asks How are you? by saying Comment allez-vous
you can answer Very good, thanks. by saying Très bien, merci.

The way you say it, sounds like Tray bee-en, mare-see.

It's also polite to ask how they are, so you can add et vous? to the end of that sentence.
That sounds like Ay voo? (The vowel in Ay sounds like Hay)

So using all the words we've learned:
Bonjour, Au revoir, Monsieur, Madamoiselle, Comment allez-vous and très bien merci, et vous

We can have a conversation in French like this:
Girl: Bonjour Monsieur.
Boy: Bonjour Madameoiselle, comment allez-vous?
Girl: Très bien merci, et vous?
Boy: Très bien, merci.
Girl: Au revoir!
Boy: Au revoir!

Car ignition

We just learned a little about Spark Plugs.

The ignition or starter is the part of the car that you put your keys into, then turn them, and it starts the car.

When you turn your keys, the car takes electricity from the battery and sends it to the sparkplugs to make a spark.
That spark explodes the gas inside the piston and starts the engine.

Bald Eagle - nest & plumage

The bald eagle's next is over 8 feet wide.
That's longer than any grownup person is tall!


(From: Wikipedia - bald eagle)

The "bald" part of the name, comes from an old word that actually means "white".

The size and color of the feathers of a bird is called "plumage".

Pectoral Girdle

The clavicle and scapula together make up what is called the pectoral girdle.
