kid stuff galore

The kids have had the pleasure to visit several museums excellent for hands-on learning: the Universum science museum, The Children’s Museum (El Papelote) in Chapultepec park, and the Interactive Museum of Economics. They also visited Kidzania: an interactive city made for children that involves role-playing and making things. Several of these places we have already re-visited or plan on revisiting next week.

We’ve also enjoyed the wandering that happens going from place to place, as well as the opportunities that Mexico City has presented us, including a delightful day biking through the car-free streets of the Centro, which they do every single Sunday. We saw many people biking and skateboarding around with their dogs tagging along or in bags and backpacks. There also was a very dapper man in a suit riding along with his cat perched on his shoulder. All good breaks from the homeschooling work!

They also took a 3-part art class on Thursdays that focused on the work of Georgia O’Keefe. All 3 enjoyed it a lot.
