Lentil

We read the book Lentil by Robert McCloskey. We did many fun activities along with the story.

Social Studies- (Geography, life in a small town) The kids learned where Ohio is on the map. We colored a picture and read books about Ohio. They also designed their own small town.

Literature(elements of a good story)- we wrote our own books concentrating on setting the stage.

Science- (Human Anatomy,Taste buds) Learning about our taste buds was tasty. We tested different foods and determined if they were salty,sweet,sour or bitter.

Mathematics-(fractions and geometry)We learned whole,half and quarter.

Science and Music-(sound,acoustics,music skills) We played musical instruments in the bathroom to see if the sound had improved in the bathroom and why. We listened to " she's coming around the mountain". We learned about musical notes and tried to read the lyrics.

Art-(Medium) Lily and Aj discovered that the book was illustrated using charcoal pencils. We decided to try drawings with them also. They found it fun and messy!

Happy Earth Day and Arbor Day!

Today we celebrated Earth and Arbor Day. We went to Heritage Museum and Gardens, did arts and crafts and planted a tree! We saw ladybugs being released by the museum staff. It was amazing. Lily and Aj got to hold them.

Aj and Lily played a game where they had to figure out which items had to be recycled.

Hidden Hollow is our favorite place to play in the museum.

We couldn't leave the museum without going on the carousel or seeing the cars.

We planted a Paw-Paw tree in our yard.

Here are the Eart Day magnets we made and some books we read this week.
