This blog is called Post-Apocalyptic Homeschool because I obsessively collect and stockpile used children's books just in case I need to personally educate a small village after some sort of catastrophic scenario where all the other books and technology and book-obtaining means of all kinds have been destroyed, such that the only reading materials left for miles around are the piles of books in my garage. Sensible, yes?

Train Week So Far...
We got a train book from the library called Engine Engine Number Nine which eventually led me down the Internet rabbit hole to the above two videos. I post them here for your edification and enjoyment; Jackson was unimpressed/confounded by both of these videos but hey, that's his loss, man. (He really likes Copacabana though. Hee.)
Meanwhile, our train books so far seem to have amazing vocabulary. I think I'm going to go through them at naptime tomorrow and do that Post-It note thing in hopes of honing in on a few particularly cool words. Destination? Streamlined?
Also, I've discovered that I need a wall map. There's just no explaining Abilene, Texas on a globe.
