This week we are learning about earthworms in our nature study! And I don’t think I’m the only one who can’t wait for spring to come. These little guys play such an important role in all things that grow and we are excited to explore what they are all about. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So we started by reading Wiggling Worms at Work by Wendy Pfeffer and then practiced size, the letter W, and numbers with some cute worksheets. Elliot also colored a WORM letter sheet and drew an under the dirt scene in our nature journal while referencing a spread in Life Cycles by DK. Earthworms are pretty rad.

This afternoon we read The Queen of Frogs by Davide Cali and then we focused more on the anatomy of a frog for our lesson. I designed a worksheet for Elliot to complete and he also practiced the letter F a bit more. We also looked at a nice section on frogs in our book, Animals: Discover the Amazing Diversity of Nature by Discovery Kids. That’s a wrap!

Today is all about frogs in our nature study. We read Starting Life: Frog by Claire Llewellyn and then completed a life cycle sheet (@magichomeschoolbus). We also did some green activities and practiced numbers with new count and clip cards (@sosimpleabeginning). Later we will explore a frogs anatomy.

After lunch we read a really cute book, Groundhog Stays Up Late by Margery Cuyler and then moved on to our candlemas projects. Elliot painted a fire with watercolors and twigs (@magichomeschoolbus) and we both rolled some beeswax candles for the first time. He did great rolling his and really wanted to include the little bees. The kit I bought is awesome and included a lot of little elements to add. Definitely something we both enjoyed.
