Mr. Popper’s Penguins Unit Study Progress

IMG_7886web.jpg

Hi! Well, with the onset of one of our snowiest months of the year, we’re celebrating by working on our Mr. Popper’s Penguins Unit Study! This book isn’t moving as quickly as the last one, but it’s fun to do penguin stuff in wintertime!   In this unit we are learn all about penguins including different types, the penguin food chain, and vocabulary. Here is Turbo and Strawberry Shortcake working on his story timeline. I love Mr. Popper with his ladder, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite activities, and it’s a great way to help them remember what the main plot of the story is! They will also do a character analysis of main characters in the story, alphabetize Mr. Popper’s penguins, learn about different occupations, and write their own penguin poem. Strawberry Shortcakes Penguin Poem: The Penguin is small, he’s not very tall. He eats fish and never wants to miss. I find him here , there, and everywhere. What a sight of black … [Read more...]

Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe Unit Study

IMG_7963web.jpg

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share our progress so far on some of the Literature Unit Studies we’ve been working on! We started off with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. It was a great book to begin with and I was pleased at the eagerness of my kiddos to keep reading more!   Actually they wanted to keep reading so much that we actually had to go back and play catch up with our lapbook pieces since we got so far ahead in our reading!   I guess I should be happy that reading 1-2 chapters wasn’t enough for them! Here is the start of Strawberry Shortcakes timeline. I’m loving the little pictures they are drawing to go with the story.   Here is one of her pre-reports. Apparently she thinks Edmund’s name is Edwen. Guess I’ll have to clear that up for her before her next report LOL!   Here are some of the inside pieces that we’ve done so far as well.   And here is what the finished one will look like eventually, … [Read more...]
