chanda has been rereading winter holiday by arthur ransome, and practicing her semaphore and morse code signaling. here she is spelling jack. this is the "J."
"A"
"C"
"K." and all together it looks like this:(good ol' jack.)

here morgana is studying her morse code signs. in the book they signal in morse code from a distance of about a mile. in the daytime they use flags, and at night a "torch."they signaled to each other: "come to the fram." " ok." (the "fram" is a boat in the book - the headquarters of the expedition party, and is named after norwegian explorer roald amundsen's ship that was used to explore the arctic and antarctic during the years 1893 and 1912.)
we've really enjoyed this series of books. they've read the books to themselves; we've taken turns reading out loud to each other; and we've listened to cassette tapes while knitting.
