Crazy day, today!! Worked out yesterday for 2 hours (cardio blast & body pump with Courtney)...now, I used to do this almost everyday...but, haven't in about a month! soooo...I was SO sore this morning... didn't get out of bed until 8:30!! :S anyway... we got moving and actually got all our 'regular' subjects done before noon, plus some art!
We continued to study the 7 continents today... Australia was our pick to learn more about... we learned about some of the animals that only come from Australia--marcupials... kendyl thought this was a very cool name! She drew a pic of some kangaroos and koalas and we hung it by our continent map that we made.
Later we were baking a cake for a funeral...so, we were doing meauring & counting (math), mixing & baking (science) and following directions :) well, Kendyl looked down and noticed that her apron had a pocket in it. She got sooo excited and yells, "Hey, mom, I'm a marcupial!!" Then ran and got her little "kanga" (winnie the pooh kangaroo) and put it in her 'pouch'. :)
that's awesome! I was just thinking that I needed to blog about the girls baking and cooking in the kitchen the last couple of days too. Hey, who's funeral? BTW..what are you using for curriculum in your study of the continents, or are you just coming up with stuff on your own?
ReplyDeleteI'm just using the "What your Kindergartener needs to know" book and fun things I find in other books. first graders go more in-depth--should be stuff in that book you're borrowing "what your 1st grader needs to know". :)
ReplyDeleteoh yeah... Lyle May's dad passed away... funeral is sat... spent all morning trying to find a nursery person, then Peg May called and said they don't need nursery now... oh well! :S

ReplyDeleteI love that Kendyl is a marcupial since I don't even know what that is.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE!!! So cute!!! I can just see her super excited expression that she gets. Too, too cute!
ReplyDeletelol, mom!! a marcupial is an animal that carries it's baby in a pouch (pocket)... like a kangaroo! :)
