Alpaca Farm: We began week 7 with a fun field trip. Because Isaac and Moriah had just studied Peru, I arranged a visit to a nearby alpaca farm. They had pygmy goats, rabbits, micro pigs, dogs, chickens, and a duck, as well as over 20 alpacas. How fun!
Apple Sensory Tub: Gabriela kept pretending to “feed the pigs” with the peas, so finally I rounded up all the pigs (and a few chickens…and a few border collies) from our farm set and put in the sensory tub for her. She loves the additions!
Rainbow Aquadraw—Always a favorite!
We began our apple unit this week!
1. Apple Count & Clip—I found this free printable at 2 Teaching Mommies. I laminated the cards, cut them apart, and punched a hole in the top of each, because one of these days I’m going to find those rings I have somewhere in the house! We haven’t really worked on number recognition, so I was surprised that Gabriela knew several of them. I’m going to do more activities like this! She liked clipping the clothespins on the cards.
2. Applesauce Making—She loves cooking with Daddy, and she also loves eating apple peels!
Ballet—Using DVDs.
Field Trip to Woolsthorpe Manor--birthplace and home of Sir Isaac Newton (and really cool discovery centre in one of the outbuildings)
