It was my week to host co op day and we homeschooled like professionals today.
The kids shared book reports for oral language, we are wrapping up our insect unit soon and finished some insect books, had their weekly spelling test, jumped rope and played four square, observed their caterpillars (that are now in pupa stage) learned about bees, recorded in science journals, talked about what people used for light pre-electricity. Scraped the wax off of two beehive frames, and made their own candles! We were going to do a writing activity, but ran out of time. Next time!
The bee study is e-cards interesting because I’m trying to figure out a way (land) to get myself a hive, abd also because it is a great tie in for sloane. The kindergarten math curriculum we are using is all about a hive of bees. Cute little bee manipulatives are used for counting abd one to one correspondence activities. It was great to learn more about these brilliantly smart, necessary, and organized creations.
