Austrialia
|
Last week I decided we should learn the continents so i gave Serena the globe and showed her the continetnts and asked her which one she would like to learn about first, she picked australia  Today We read in the encyclopedia about australia, she learned that it is the only continent that is entirely beneath the equator equator? So we got the globe out found australia again and then found the equator. WE read about the different regions of australia, the outback and the coral reef. will look for a book about the coral reef at the library. so that covers geography. Science~ We re read our book about kangaroos. She remembered this time that they are marsupials and is still fascinated with the journey the joey makes after birth to the pouch. plan to get more materials about marsupials fromthe library and looking on the internet for animals that are unique to australia. Reading~ We finished the secret garden yipppeee. We like dthe book but we are excited about starting our new book little house in the big woods. We started it at bedtime. I had forgotten that the first chapter is a little graphic with the butchering of the pig and deer but she took it in stride. We went over her "at" and "an " words again. had thought we could move on tto the "ed and "en" words today but decided to wait , since she didnt seem as firm in remebering the at and an as i though tshe might be. Math~ Working on fractions and addition. cut an apple in half, asked her to give Iris half of her toasted cheese sandwich  which she accomplished. for addition i am just introducing the idea, whenever i can , she is warming up to the concept. |
