Nathan had a penguin study this week. However, he was not into this craft below so Hunter let me trace his hand instead and Lily modeled it. :)
Nathan did love his penguin bin and the winter play dough we made this week!
He also enjoyed the magnet page! He is done with "school" until after Christmas now. He still has the penguin bin and play dough and Christmas books to occupy him, though.
For Konos this week, we finished up predator/prey with a life cycle game and then we did a quick study on Native Americans. We did a lot of fun activities, including totem poles:
On Friday, we took a field trip the natural history museum close by:
There was a whole section on Native Americans in Iowa so that was perfect for our current study:
Nathan found some penguin/puffin birds that excited him:
The mammal hall was the most exciting. Here is Hunter checking out the whale skeleton:
We had some more illness this week but in between fevers and stomach flus, we had a chance to bake Christmas cookies. It's an all day effort!
I think everyone was happy with their decorations--they certainly were very careful this year unlike years past where they just dumped sprinkles on. We have one more week of school and then we are on break--so exciting!
