I’m so excited to be back in the swing of Five in a Row with my littlest man! My oldest two made so many good memories during learning time using this curriculum. I likely won’t post about all our studies, but I took the time to take some pictures of the “extras” during our latest “row” of Owl Moon
1. A quickly drawn grid, some directional note cards and a little foam owl made for a fun game to learn N, S, E & W. After several instructions like, “Move south two blocks”, or “Go three blocks east”, my little guy had these basic directions down pat.
2. A simple owl made from dollar store foam sheets became a good lesson in shapes and following oral directions.
3. A quick print-off of the rhyme, “Wee Willy Winkie”, made for a scavenger hunt of the ‘ow’ sound.
4. After reading some go-along informational books about owls, we put together a little chart of what Eli knew about owls. He came up with the information, I wrote the words on another piece of paper and he copied them. (How’s that for fairly painless copywork?)
5. After reading some go-along books about nocturnal animals, we did a mini-research project to design a nocturnal animals poster. I’ll write a separate post soon about how awesome this research project was!
6. After reading some go-along books about the moon, we made craters in a powdered sugar “moon” with some cookies before they baked.
Fun, fun, fun! So much learning! So many happy memories!
