Today I was working with Maddie on a History review. The material was comprehensive including all that we have studied so far this year. Since we take off school from Thanksgiving through the New Year, it's been a little tough to get back into the swing of things. And some of that material from way back in September can elude the 8 year old brain, you know?
So, taking this into consideration, I was trying to prompt her with some leading questions to see if she couldn't bring some of that long ago information back to mind.
Her question read something like this, "______________ time is when the farmer prepares the meat for us to buy in the market."
She was struggling to remember, so I prompted her with this question.
"What do you call it when they kill the pig to get the meat?"
Her answer, "Pork?" :)
"Well yes, the pig meat is called pork. How about the man in the market who cuts the meat so we can buy it. Do you remember what he is called?"
Her answer, "The Pork Chopper?" Bwah-ha-ha-ha!
*By the way, the answer is Butchering Time... in case you were wondering. :)
