We have
actually been on our first break for the year but considering that the way we
do preschool is to mostly just read together and explore things they’re
interested in, it’s been a lot like not
taking a break.
We were on
a reptile/amphibian kick for a little while there which involved borrowing a
Diego DVD (Iguana Sing Along, which
also had a snake episode in it), all kinds of reptile/amphibian books (My
personal favorite was Hip Pocket Papa
but A’s favorite was Toad), and a
family PetCo excursion where Ryan and I were happily surprised to discover some
“exotic” reptiles mixed in with your usual suspects.
We also
enjoyed a really great pond walk recently, which resulted in a whole lot of
exploration and several pond books. Favorites were In a Small, Small Pond // Pond Walk // Over and Under the Pond.
My parents came to visit shortly after that and got us a net, plus a fishing
pole for each kid, so they’re very excited to go back and examine fish next
time. We saw another family there using a net to catch minnows and then putting
them into a bucket of water to observe them. Hopefully we’ll be able to do the
same thing!
We’re
already almost finished with our 50 states reading map! As of today, we need books from just five more states…
Montana, North Dakota, Delaware, Arkansas and West Virginia. If you know of any
books that mention one of those states, however briefly, let me know! =]
We’re
always and forever reading allll the books around here so ten of our most
recent favorites: Monster Trucks // Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led her People to Freedom // The Story Book Knight
// Then & Now // Nibbles the Book Monster // Violet the Pilot // My First Little House Books // Ladybug Girl // The Hero in You // Arrow to Alaska
