ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed with what you've done with your lighthouse unit study, Jen! So cool that you even added the building-a-flashlight activity! I featured your lighthouse posts at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page and pinned them to my Ocean Unit Study Pinterest board at http://pinterest.com/debchitwood/ocean-unit-study/
