This week we continues our journey with another mysterious creature, the owl. This is one of Luke's favorite animals. We have had a grand time discovering yet another one of God's awesome creations! Below is a list of our activities from this week
Social Studies: We learned where New Jersey is on the US map, placed our story disk, and colored a picture of the state flag, bird, and flower.
Language Arts: We discussed simile's and metaphors from the story and created some of our own. We read a poem "The Owl"and then Luke dictated an owl story of his own.
Art: We discussed the tree's and shadow work used by the illustrator in the book. We tried to draw one of the trees and then made a bare tree on paper by blowing black paint with a straw. We also made an owl mask and Luke acted out a mother owl caring for her owlets.
Math: We discussed units of time and made a clock Luke with a minuet and hour hand. Luke practiced telling time with his new clock. We also went on a "time piece" hunt to discover the many ways we tell time in our home. We experimented and guessed how long a minuet was. We did activities and timed them to drive home the point of the length of time. We also worked on number recognition and writting numbers.

Bible: We learned about the CREATOR and how marvelous his works are! We read Psalm 136 & Psalm 8:3-4
Science: We studies the owl and the many fascinating facts about this animal. We are thankful they eat a lot of rats!! We also learned about the phases of the moon and manipulated felt "moons" to better understand this concept.
Other: We had an owl maze. We also read books on scarecrows and did a scarecrow craft. Luke created new binnacles and gave them all names and practiced writting the names for some hand writing practice. He also played Jump Start Kindergarten to work on his phonics.
It was another fun filled busy week here!
