We never did get back to Creation Camp - though I still plan to. Instead, we've gone off on a bit of a tangent using a wonderful resource from Teacher Book Bag! We have thoroughly enjoyed the activities in the August Book Bag for 1st through 3rd grade! I love the fact that all of the components tie in together, but each subject can also stand alone. My kids had a terrific time learning about graphing with the worksheets included. And when it was time to make an "object graph", we tied it in to our chores and sorted the laundry as we folded it! Some of the questions on the worksheets were a bit beyond my new 1st grader, so we skipped those particular questions. My "graduated" 3rd grader had fun working the problems though. We graphed the ingredints in our trail mix snack and made a bar graph, plus compared our numbers on a line graph. We also worked on the Language Arts portion. Both children thought that making sentences out of the provided fragments was "cool". They loved the file folder games and both now have a great grasp on simple punctuation. The World Discoveries section ties in perfectly with our current study of animals from our Creation Camp. I especially appreciated that the information provided was just enough to complete the project, but that websites were included for further study. Each of my children did pick an animal to research and the websites were informative. All in all, we completely enjoyed our August Book Bag and can't wait until September! They have a lot of great resources, and they are very reasonable. Check it out! Loving Learning, Katie |
