Today we got a late start but continued with our nature study and some general lessons. We read Pond by Gordon Morrison and learned all about how they change through the seasons. Then after completing some worksheets Elliot colored a POND letter sheet, we looked at a winter scene in One Small Square: Pond and he drew a pond in our nature journal. The plan was to draw the animals in the mud getting ready for winter but someone didn’t want to.

We also looked at a beautiful print of the pond ecosystem along with a review of all the animals and plants that thrive there and practiced numbers with new count and clip cards that Elliot really enjoyed. Both from @stephhathawaydesigns. It’s a very cold and windy day here so we are keeping cozy inside for sure.

Today for our pond study Elliot and I read Over and Under the Pond by Kate Messner (a fave) and Pond: One Small Square by Donald M. Silver and learned more about the animals, bugs and plants that live in and around ponds. Elliot had his letter and number lessons and then completed the turtle in our tape activity book. For our art session we both painted a pond scene. I plan on using mine for another project this week. Pond life is pretty neat.
