This morning we were working on a vocabulary lesson through Spelling City. One of our words was “enormous” and the default sentence for the word is “The redwood tree was enormous.” I was pretty sure that Tornado Boy had never seen a redwood tree, so I did a quick Google search and found the following video to show him:
We talked about how a redwood tree could grow to be taller than 10 large houses stacked on top of each other. I felt like at the end of the conversation, Tornado Boy had a good idea of the scale of the trees.
Later today, my father-in-law came home and asked if we’d “done school” yet today. I said yes, and he asked Tornado Boy what he had learned about. TB said that he learned about redwood trees. FIL then asked him where redwood trees were found. TB’s response: “YouTube!”
Find out what other kids are saying, or link up and post your own story at Tiny Talk Tuesday at Not Before 7.
LOL. That just made my day! That’s a great answer for just about anything since YouTube has everything and anything these days!

OK, I am cracking up right now. Anna thinks that Internet is very smart, and “she” knows everything

I love that Anna has assigned the Internet a gender. That’s too funny!
I love that! I laughed out loud! You just gotta love when they bust out with something like that after such a great lesson.
