Weekly Recap: 1/20/20-1/24/20

This week, we "traveled" to Canada in geography. We did some mapping activities, labeling the provinces and territories among other things. We read fun facts and completed our country fact worksheet. 


The kids made a postcard from Canada.


We read in "Children Just Like Me" about an Inuit boy living in Canada and they filled out their "Children Just Like Me" worksheet. We also read "Very Last First Time" about an Inuit girl in Canada who "walked on the sea floor" for the first time.


We drew maple leaves and used geometric pattern to color them. We completed a flag worksheet, read tons about Canada in our atlases and books, and learned about many inventions that come from Canada or Canadians.


In science, we learned about amphibians and focused on frogs and toads this week. We made a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting frogs and toads. I found a few worksheets on SuperTeacherWorksheets.com that I printed out for them. They love puzzles!



In Bible Road Trip, we read Genesis 1-11 this week and completed our notebook pages. We memorized Genesis 1:27 and reviewed our memory verses from the past two weeks.





Titus learned about contractions this week. I found this activity on Pinterest and decided to see if it would help him - and it did! I used Mega Blocks and a dry-erase marker. I wrote the contractions on the double blocks and then the two words that make up the contraction on the single blocks. He had to match the single blocks to the double blocks. He really enjoyed this and it was so simple to pull together.

Eli had a few basketball games this week, and he played great at both of them. My mother-in-law came to our house and sat with the baby and younger kids so I could go to the home game without having to take Zeke!

Mercie shot her first deer this week! She killed a doe. Mikaela got a buck and Eli got a doe earlier in the season, and Mercie was anxious to get her first one. She was very excited.
