Little Voices: Mike Mulligan
http://littlektvoices.blogspot.com/2011/06/mike-mulligan.html
Five in a Row. Tuesday, June 07, 2011. Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. This was the first time we repeated an author, Virginia Lee Burton. I was slightly not looking forward to this book because, you know, steam shovels didn't sound that interesting to me. But one of the reasons I chose this book was because I needed to use a Mamapedia. The kids didn't have a concept of what a steam shovel is, so I checked out a book about backhoes from the library (T already knew all about. I really liked the. But t...

Little Voices: The Story of Ferdinand
http://littlektvoices.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-story-of-ferdinand.html
Five in a Row. Friday, March 27, 2015. The Story of Ferdinand. T's next row was Ferdinand. I love the detailed, humorous illustrations in this book. Since this is another case of doing basically what we'd done when rowing this with K. I'll just post some pictures from this time. Both kids loved looking at this series of pictures after I had the photos developed and put them in T's FIAR notebook. As the years went by Ferdinand grew and grew until he was very big and strong." In the book illustration F...

Five in a Row. Wednesday, April 08, 2015. In November T was happy to turn to the power and tenacity of a hardworking steam shovel with his next row,. Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. Mike Mulligan and Mary Anne built the foundation neat and square." We reviewed what a square is and found some around the house, measuring them to be sure that they were, in fact, squares. T also enjoyed making some squares on a geoboard. After we did this experiment, T wanted me to take an "explaining" picture where he s...

Little Voices: Pumpkin Patch
http://littlektvoices.blogspot.com/2015/01/pumpkin-patch.html
Five in a Row. Wednesday, January 14, 2015. In early October we took a field trip with a homeschooling group to the pumpkin patch. Here are some pictures from our day there. I took this first picture in a hurry because most of the children had picked their pumpkins and it was time to get back on the hay ride. Some friends were near us, but M was in a longstanding Highly Suspicious of New People phase, hence the baleful stare.. The kids always love climbing on this tractor. Another fun farm play structure.

Five in a Row. Saturday, March 28, 2015. K's next Volume 4 row included a visit to Australia and many other topics of study. We started rowing The Pumpkin Runner. At the end of October and started off the unit with a test of pumpkin buoyancy. K made predictions of which of a variety of pumpkins we'd collected would float and which would sink. It turned out that they all floated, which was hugely surprising to her. From Homeschoolshare.com. She was also interested in learning more about the Sydney...This ...

Five in a Row. Monday, February 23, 2015. In the first half of October we rowed. This is a beautiful book with stunning watercolor illustrations that takes place somewhere in the Southwest or Mexico. Abuelito, Leticia's grandfather, tells her a tall tale about one very big storm in his past. My notes from what we did during this unit are pretty sketchy, so briefly, here are our activities:. That K enjoyed putting together. Reviewed tall tales and read some new ones that K wasn't familiar with. Author and...

Five in a Row. Monday, January 19, 2015. I've been enjoying revisiting our *old* Five in a Row books with T. Our next row, in mid October, was The Story about Ping.

Ping has a mother, a father, two sisters, three brothers, eleven aunts, seven uncles, and forty-two cousins. How many are in Ping's family? Then we went to a different area of the park where we w...
