This week in our nature study we are supposed to take a little break so I decided to teach Elliot a little about gardening today. We read Tiny Green Thumbs by C.Z. Guest, completed some worksheets from a cute garden unit (he colored the veggies and I colored the bugs), and practiced some numbers with new bug count and clip cards (both from @morningstogether). Then we planted a few Zinnia seeds to observe. Keeping it easy and fun today.
This morning we continued with our nature study and read some cool books, practiced our letters, did a sticker activity, and had fun tracing spirals for some line work practice. Elliot also colored a snail drawing and we made little snails from clay and shells from our collection.
In our nature study this week we are learning about snails! I was super excited for this and can’t wait for our little friends to start coming out to play We read all about their anatomy and life cycle, practiced the letter L, completed a shadow matching and anatomy worksheet, and also some line work and a number lesson. We also made a cute paper snail craft.
Then we had an awesome time at the park with friends for a break. So glad we got to enjoy this beautiful day. After, we chilled out with a good book and did a few fun worksheets on the letters, shapes, and a number puzzle I created. Looking forward to more snail fun this week

For our nature study this morning we read one of our favorite books, practiced the letter S, and had a number lesson with our spring count and clip cards. We also learned about seeds and completed a life cycle worksheet, practiced linework, and did a flower puzzle. It’s such a chilly, windy day but studying all things spring is surely putting a smile on my face.⠀⠀⠀
