What we Learned today – March 8, 2011
Today we practiced opposites. First I had to teach the lad what opposite meant.
And we read a poem on cats, and did some work about Tabby Cats. We’re feeling VERY disorganized and muddle headed this morning so I’m pulling together things that I think will work for us today as book work ain’t where it’s at today. 🙂 So we did some lap book work on cats. Poem, parts of a cat, practicing the letter C, Spelling the words Tabby Cat,
Pulled a poem from a cat study from reading-tutors.com. We read through it a couple of times.
We did this page from Enchanted Learning. And we read books looking for the letter C (easy to do when you have LOTS of cat books). 🙂 We did this maze as well.
Then upstairs to read books for a half hour.
Time for a late lunch. and the cleaning up the house and playing. We done good on a day when we just want to veg so it’s all good. 🙂
Nyiragongo Crater
This was interesting to learn about.
Hubby found that tidbit of information about the Nyiragongo Crater. The lad and I sat and looked at the pictures and talked about it. It’s very hard to convey to a five year old lad how dangerous all that melted rock would be, and how the gases are dangerous.
He found it quite interesting how they had to protect the cameras too. 🙂
Handbook of Nature Study
I have the e-book Handbook of Nature Study, and
Barb, the author, has prepared over * 80 * lesson plans (which she calls “nature study challenges”) based on the book, and these are linked for you to freely download and use, on the right sidebar of the blog. Also, listed under the challenges on the right sidebar of the blog are numerous free custom designed notebook and nature journal pages for families to use with the Handbook of Nature Study.
The blog is called “handbook of nature study“.
