We found this neat websource: https://digitalhygge.com which reveals which days have special events, they also have free resources available for various needs, we thought this one was interesting to make one more mindful of what you are doing with your days. We are all given the same amount of time each day- 24 hours: https://digitalhygge.com/wheel-of-life/
According to that websource today is National Bobble Head Day these are 3 of our Funko Pop Bobbleheqds given by dad:
We decided to pick a place on earth that we are fond of and learn about an important geologist from there. Barron selected Arnold Henry Guyot who was a Swiss-American geologist and geographer and was born September 28, 1807 in Boudevilliers, Switzerland. He died at the age of 76 on February 8, 1884 in Princeton, N.J., U.S.A. He did a lot of meteorological observations which led to the creation of the U.S. Weather Bureau. It has been shared that, "The guyot, a flat-topped volcanic peak rising from the ocean floor, is named after him. He studied at the College of Neuchâtel and in Germany, taught at Paris from 1835 to 1840, and became professor of history and physical geography at the Neuchâtel Academy in 1839. In 1838, under the influence of the famed naturalist-geologist Louis Agassiz, he took up the study of the structure and motion of glaciers. In 1848 Guyot settled in Cambridge, Mass., and until 1854 lectured on geography and teaching methods for the Massachusetts Board of Education. He wrote a series of geography textbooks that served as models of the kind used in American schools for many years. In 1854 he became professor of geology and physical geography at Princeton University. Guyot developed topographical maps of the Appalachian and Catskill mountains. His published works include The Earth and Man (Eng. trans., 1849); Creation, or the Biblical Cosmogony in the Light of Modern Science (1884); and Tables, Meteorological and Physical (4th ed., 1887).

To refresh our memory Barron did a free worksheet from: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/FreeDownload/FREE-Layers-of-the-Earth-Labeling-Worksheet-3049920 Barron recognized the mantle area, the outer and inner core, and the crust.
A simple, yet important reminder, from Jack Hartmann's video called On This Earth-Earth Day Song for Kids at: https://youtu.be/NbbqFyrbHEA?feature=shared that we are given so much so we need to take care of this Old Rock of ours. His lyrics are:
"On This Earth
On This Earth, trees are growing
On This Earth, trees are growing
Give us fresh air to breathe
Give us fresh air to breathe
On this Earth, springs are flowing
On this Earth, springs are flowin
Give us water to drink
Give us water to drink
On this Earth, the sun is shining
On this Earth, the sun is shining
Gives us warmth and gives us light
Gives us warmth and gives us light
The Earth gives us so many gifts each day
We have to take care of it and appreciate
Trees are growing
Springs are flowing
The sun is shining
So many things
All on this beautiful Earth
On this Earth, birds are flying
On this Earth birds are flying
Singing happily
Singing happily
On this Earth, fish are swimming
On this Earth, fish are swimming
Giving balance to the sea
Giving balance to the sea
On this Earth we are living
On this Earth we are living
With friends and family
With friends and family
The Earth gives us so many gifts each day
We have to take care of it and appreciate
Birds are flying
Fish are swimming
We are living
So many things
All on this beautiful Earth
Reduce, reuse, recycle plastic bags and cups
Use water carefully and when you're done shut it off
Turn lights off when you leave a room, it saves energy
Look around each day where you live and see all nature's beauty
Trees are growing
Springs are flowing
The sun is shining
So many things
Birds are flying
Fish are swimming
We are living
So many things
All on this beautiful Earth
All on this beautiful Earth"
