We continued with our pond study this afternoon by reading a favorite book, Around the Pond: Who’s Been Here? by Lindsay Barrett George, as well as a section in One Small Square: Pond by Donald M. Silver. Elliot practiced the letter P and had a number lesson with some count and clip cards by @honeycombcabin. We also looked at a beautiful painting, Spring Morning by John Henry Twachtman.

After some time outside we had a snack and read Turtle Pond by James Gladstone and studied a bit more about pond life in our First Nature Encyclopedia. Then a few worksheets on the letter T and line tracing and a coloring pond sheet from @stephhathawaydesigns that Elliot will finish another day.

It’s spring pond study week! It’s so cool learning about these subjects throughout the seasons. We started with a favorite book, Pond by Jim LaMarche and also looked at different plants you find around ponds in One Small Square: Pond by Donald M. Silver, as well as beautiful resource cards and our ecosystem pond print.

Then we practiced the letter P, cut and pasted a fish puzzle, looked at various things/animals you find around ponds with letter cards, and had a number lesson with a fun nature count and match activity.
