Bug's Skylark Notebook

Bug has Finished up his Beyond FIAR unit study on Skylark. It was a Super book, with many great things to explore. Some of the highlights-

First off- the Cover-

And the most important page for keeping our studies organized- The Table of Contents- each time I give him an assignment I have him write it on the table of contents page, that way we are both sure when the assignment is done and in the notebook. Otherwise things would get done, but he couldn't find them, and they wouldn't get put in the notebook.

Other fun assignments- Ds had a fun time with a photography assignment- reading books about photography and taking pictures with his digital camera. A lesson on Animal Gestation periods-

Colorwheels (page from Beyond manual) and ds's painting of the drought.

We did lessons on Cows and used This as a resource, and ds put the cow diagram in his notebook.

As always I LOVE to include Cub Scout stuff in our studies- He earned the Weather Belt Loop and Pin- we used This worksheet to keep track of it all, and included it in his notebook.

Bug did some research on Yellowstone Fires of 1988, did a virtual field trip (as if we've never been there ;)) and also the Great Chicago Fire using this link. He listed the qualities a Firefighter needs, and wrote an acrostic poem about Fire:

Fire

by Bug

Fire is Burning

In the Streets

Rain comes down on it

Everlasting Glow

I already posted that He made Biscuits all by himself for a Home Ec. assignment (and applied Math!)

One of his favorite Assignments was a Travel Brochure he made for Maine- The Cover

Inside pages

Back page

He wrote a report on the Loon:

And we had a fun time with Genetics using this http://www.biologycorner.com/docs/Paper_pets.doc

Of course for each chapter we did the Discussion questions from the Beyond FIAR manual, and many more lessons that I haven't included here. At the back of his notebook he has a Menu he wrote to go along with Skylark, the new vocabulary words, and some copywork and dictation pages.
