Virtual Tour of Machu Picchu

We are learning about the Andes Mountains and Machu Picchu this week as part of our World Geography studies.  I thought I’d share the amazing virtual aerial panorama tour of Machu Picchu that we are enjoying via Air Pano.

360* Aerial Panorama of Machu Picchu

AirPano is a project created by a team of Russian photographers focused on taking high-resolution aerial 360° photographs and 360° video. This site has lots of virtual tours that would make great visual supplements to any World Geography or World History curriculum.

Pinned on Pinterest: Printable Planners and Organizers for Children

My 11yo needs a bit of extra help organizing his day.  I’ve discovered that he functions best when he has a clear understanding of  not only his school assignments, but the chores and playdates, and other activities that we are doing each day.  A chore chart and family calendar are helpful to him, but what about putting all of his information in one location?

I  use a paper planner to help me stay on track,  so I decided that he would benefit from one as well.  As I researched for free printable planners and organizers for children,  I pinned them on the AHE Organizational Ideas Pinterest Board in case there were other parents like me looking for an inexpensive way to keep a child on track.  Click on the link below and you’ll see what I’ve found so far.   If you know of any other free printable planners for children, please share a link in the comments below so I can add them to the Pinterest board
