My Quipus: The Inca way to keep track of the money you earned and saved.
The Incas had a government structure, and the Quipucamayoc was the person in charge of the Quipus. He would act as an accountant and sometimes as a manager. On the Quipus they will keep records of; their census, their food production, the amount of food stored, and in some cases major historic events. In this My Quipus book, children will learn a little history of the great Inca empire.
My Quipus is the Inca way to keep track of the money you have earned and saved by a system of knots. It is never too early to teach children the concept of savings. Meanwhile, they are using the Inca’s system of keeping records through time.
Children can see how much money they have saved in one year. This, by making knots per every dollar they have earned. By the end of one-year children would have a portable and colorful savings account on display.
Our Little Hibiscus Trail: A photo collection of hibiscus flowers from Quito-Ecuador
We were fortunate to have lived some time in Ecuador. Quito is the country’s capital city where we spent a wonderful time.
During, our time in Quito, we had to pass by this little trail every morning on our way to school. This trail was often times covered with fog, but one day we decided to cross to the other side and to our surprised we found a trail filled with hibiscus plants with these beautiful flowers that we admired so much.
Thanks to this time we were able to create a collection of our best 36 hibiscus pictures in different colors; orange, pink, red, white and yellow. We wanted to share this photo collections while at the same time learn the names of these colors in Spanish. And as a bonus chapter you will find the name of these colors also in Kichwa, the language of many indigenous groups in Ecuador. Plus, 10 facts about these marvelous flowers.
We have nice memories from Quito-Ecuador. I hope you enjoy this collection and share the beauty of these flowers with your family and friends. And practice the colors in Spanish and Kichwa.
