Queen bee

We enjoy reading the Magic School Bus books.  I think we've read eight now.  One recent favorite describes life inside a beehive.  I have mentioned before how es likes to act out stories; this book led to her being the queen bee complete with tiara and cape.  I got to be a worker bee and dutifully followed her around the room.  A few days later I brought over an old National Geographic with an article describing how a lighthouse in North Carolina was moved, and then we found an article about insects with a picture of a queen ant.  The magazine also contained an article about the aftermath of the Mt St Helen's eruption, which led to exploration of volcanoes.  She remembered seeing a volcano in her Where's Waldo book and showed it to me.  Granted, it was cartoon-like, but it was indeed a volcano.

By the way, this is my 400th post on the blog, in almost exactly three years.
