Today was kind of an off day for Elliot so I kept it low key and let him mostly do what he wanted. We were able to check off a few things on my list though:

  • practiced letters and numbers with a few worksheets
  • read two pieces from Fables by Arnold Lobel
  • studied Barn with Moss-Covered Roof by Vincent van Gogh and Elliot painted his own version with watercolors (that pink tree! And he included the sun and the moon, which is pink too)

I wanted to focus more on art today and I had another project to do but he said we can do it tomorrow, lol. So stay tuned.

This morning we completed our lessons and learned a bit more about moss:

  • read Mossy by Jan Brett
  • looked at more moss cards by @twigandmoth
  • drew varieties of moss in our nature journal
  • worksheets practicing the letter O and S and also some numbers
  • traced different moss varieties from Nature Anatomy by Julia Rothman

After lunch Elliot and I watched a short video about moss, read The Hen and the Apple Tree from Fables by Arnold Lobel, practiced letters and then played some counting and math games with marbles.

It’s moss week in our nature study! I was really excited for this one since I love moss. We collected some moss from our property over the weekend so Elliot can start studying and last night we watched a cool time lapse video of moss and lichen growing.

Today we only did a few things at home because we met up with friends for a nature hike at a really beautiful preserve:

  • we learned about different varieties of moss in Nature Anatomy by Julia Rothman and cute cards by @twigandmoth
  • Elliot started writing his favorite types of moss in our nature journal and painting moss with watercolors, which we will keep building on
  • a worksheet practicing the letter Oal
  • Read Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock by Eric A. Kimmel
  • Put all the moss samples we found from the preserve, along with what we already had in a terrarium to study

It was a fun filled day and we both look forward to more lessons tomorrow.
