F is for Frog!

(MFW Kinder, Week 26)

My little froggie

He was setting something up with all his frog stuff.

This book was from homeschoolshare.com. I tried to find a few harder things for my 1st grader whenever I could.

Life cycle wheel

Life happens...

When you're having headaches for 4 months at a time, you allow some crazy things. The kids wanted to try these. Brought back memories from when I was a kid!

B is for Butterfly!

(My Father's World, Kinder, Week 25)
This was a fun week!

painting caterpillars

our caterpillar & egg crafts

Life cycle of a butterfly from Mailbox

We acted out the life cycle. He's coming out of his chrysalis.

We did a Venn Diagram comparing butterflies and birds.

Cutting out the badge. It said, "Jesus makes me new."

MFW math sheet

We ordered these guys from Insect Lore. It's really easy & fun to watch!

This is like 2-3 days later, I kid you not. These suckers can eat!

After a few days, they attach to the top in a J shape.

starting to emerge

First one's out.

After feeding them sliced fruit & sugar water for a few days, we released them. 4 flew right off.

One had emerged with just one wing, so we transferred him back to the habitat, so he wouldn't get eaten. He only lasted another week. :( The boys named him "Unifly". This was the same one that kept wiggling a lot after I transferred the chrysalises from the cup to the habitat, so be careful with them while they're in that state!

We found this little guy this week! Skipper followed him for awhile. Nature is so fun!

Skipper has been waiting allll year for this unit, as the child is obsessed with jewels!

sensory bin: the little stones were on clearance at Target. I added craft jewels, some toy jewelry and later some real arrowheads!

Crystal Mining kit was so fun!

Z is for Zebra

(My Father's World, Kindergarten, Unit 16)

Apparently, I got 1 pic from the Kangaroo unit, so I'm skipping that one. Sorry about that!  

I wanted to add that we have this book from last year's Sonlight, and most of what we learned this year, we hadn't covered last year, so I used those pages that matched each unit to go over with the boys.

Super Dad & I got away for a weekend to the Hill Country for our anniversary.
