I was really bad about taking pictures this week. We finished our Germany study with the study of castles and read lots and lots of Grimms fairy tales, we also built castles with legos and our science focus was Rivers and Lakes. We also studied the effects of erosion

GERMANY 1st week

First week of Germany, such a great country to study, so many interesting facts, places and people.. ....and castles....we LOVE castles. This one is the castle that they modeled the Sleeping Beauty castle after in Disneyland.

We are also reading Grimms Fairy Tales



Our science focus this week was classifying the animal kingdom


Vertebrates and Invertebrates






bivalves, cephalpods, gastropods, echinoderms, porifera, caldarians, and annelids oh my!



...more fun stuff in Germany next week!

FRANCE

France was our focus for the past couple of weeks, in that time Valentines day fell so I found a really fun math activity using conversation hearts. We sorted them into colors

Then we estimated, counted and graphed each one.




We then painted pictures of the Eiffel tower. This one is Jadyn's.


Kidz Wurld had baby farm animals visit so we went and checked them out. I wanted to take ALL of them home.


especially this little guy...


Seriously!! How cute is he??!!!


baby bunnies!!


wrapped in blankets so they couldn't escape lol


tiny chicks




and kittens too, so fluffy



OINK!



Jadyn wanted to take a chick home, I did too, but we can't have them where we live =( oh well, maybe someday...On to Germany!!
