Well, we had a pretty good chance at Learn Nothing Day -- it's cleaning day, so we weren't planning on going anywhere. Surely that limits the learning potential?
In not-strictly-learny activities, Lucy watched Frozen. Although then she also watched the music videos on the DVD, so she learned what Let It Go sounds like in Spanish.
What else? I'm actually writing this on Friday. I've already forgotten what else she did. Probably played with Legos. Oh, and she played Mario Kart with Norman and by herself. Rainbow Road. Yikes. And Dinosaur Train games on the computer.
But, I was on Tumblr, which is pretty much always detrimental to trying to Learn Nothing. And I found out about the frogmouth. Like so.
Then, in the afternoon, Lucy asked the fateful question, "How do you film something to have no sound?" It turned out she meant how do people make animated gifs. So I downloaded one and showed her each frame so she could see that when you put them all in a row really fast it looks like it's moving. And we talked about cartoons, and I showed her a flip book I made in high school. And we talked about film, and I showed her some 16mm that I had in my craft room. And we talked about cameras and watched a short YouTube video about how they work. ("Old-fashioned" ones, of course.) Dang it. We were doing so well.
We learned a little more sign language before bed, and today she actually remembered one of the ones we went over -- "learn" (because it looks like picking something up from a book and putting it in your head).
