Reading list-Frog Theme

Books we've read this week for our frog theme.
Pitty-pat read aloud "Tale of a Tadpole" by Karen Wallace a DK level 1 reader.
I also found "Growing Frogs" by Vivian French I didn't know we had it in our bookcase.It has great illustrations by Alison Bartlett Tippy-toe loved the pictures. I can't wait till we get a tadpole to watch. They got so excited hearing the spring peepers we started the frog unit a little early.

Not truants

We passed our truancy evaluation today. We are at least in good standing with the school district. Just keep our family in your prayers.

FROG Lapbook

Today we worked on our frog lapbooks.

They loved the bingo marker activity the most from www.dltk-kids.com
Tippy-toe did a good number dot-to-dot from www.printactivities.com
We used alot of the resources from homeschoolshare.com(including a frog with bugs on his tongue)
I printed out frog sequence cards from enchanted learning

tree fungus

We found this cool tree fungus while out on one of our walks at Aaron's favorite woods. I couldn't resist taking a picture of it to put in our nature journal.

Spring peepers

Today we took the kids all on a nature walk. They found a log with fungus growing on it. Jon identified a tree with three woodpecker marks on it. We brought home a granite rock with layers in it.

Nature study tree fungus

We found this neat tree fungus while out for one of our walks today.

Avacado Pit

I brought an avacado pit home from work. The kids were amazed it was a seed. Our pineapple died so maybe this will grow for our plants and seeds study. I put it in a jar of water with toothpicks to hold it up.
