Paddle-to-the-Sea Chapters 4-6

We made it to the lake and the sawmill. The kids looked in our giant atlas to see what part of the world we were talking about. It's good to have paper maps and digital. The sensory experience of running your hands on the page and measuring distance aren't the same on a screen, but the detail and other information are better on a computer. Good to have both. Then we watched a Roger Rabbit short where a sawmill figured prominently (as well as some actual videos of sawmills) so the kids could get an idea of the scale of the size and noise in a typical midcentury sawmill.
