Directions


Ellie has a toy compass from somewhere (I think a prize at school for being good). She knows what a compass is, which is something that surprised me. One of her friends thought it was a clock.

Well, her toy compass isn't really a compass. So I asked her if she'd like to see a real compass. I showed her how the little bar always points north if you hold the compass still.

Now she's watching movies that have compasses in them. She started with Little Bear and the North Pole, and now she's watching Pirates of the Caribbean.
