It has been wayyyyy too long since I blogged about our adventures with Five in a Row. 

This week we read The Story of Ferdinand.   

We have had a great week rowing with Ferdinand.  We have "studied" about flowers and bees and cork trees and Spain.  Mark has talked about how unkind it is to want bulls to fight and stick them with the long sticks to make them mad.  We have acted out the story many, many times and talked about what we would do if we sat on a bumble bee.   We didn't do many of the activities from the FIAR manual on this one.  Much of it was above Mark or didn't hold his interest.  I'm sure the next time through we will do more from the manual.  This time we really enjoyed doing our own thing.  We found Spain on the map and have had Spanish dances (though none of us really knows anything about them)  LOL 

It has been a great week with Ferdinand.
