For school last week- Doodle did the FIAR book Make Way for Ducklings. It's such a fun story. On Monday we talked about Boston, Masachusetts where the story takes place. We found pictures of the Boston Public Garden and the Swan boats on the internet. Tuesday we talked about Alphabetical order- and did a simple worksheet from Homeschool Share. (I LOVE Homeschool Share! There are so many great fiar helps, and other unit studies- I've even written a few studies for them). Wednesday we did art, and practiced shading, using the resource page in the back of the FIAR manual. Thursday we did a little applied math and read Double the Ducks. We also read a few other Robert McCloskey favorites- Blueberries for Sal and Lentil. Friday we talked about a Duck's life cycle, and recalled back to last spring when we hatched chicken eggs. We did a little craft that showed the duck's life cycle. Then on our way to the Library- we stopped in a the Bird Refuge visitor's center. We didn't see many ducks, but saw lots of frogs- I'll have to remember to go there again when we row Andy and the Circus and learn about frogs.
Here's a few pics from our field trip- 3 silly kids by the welcome sign.

yes thats a keeper of Doodle!!! Perfect time for a good picture, even the background looks nice!
Ooh! We all LOVE that book. I've been thinking about you a lot, especially since we're delving into FIAR again.
The refuge looks terrific -- a great opportunity to see a wetland habitat.
LOVE the pictures of you guys!
