Noah's Ark

We read multiple versions of Noah's Ark.  Played Noah's Ark games, Sang Noah's Ark songs.  We were immersed in Noah all day.

Today it was raining.  Ellie asks. "is it going to rain for 40 days?"  

Nature

We love nature walks!  The kids were so excited when they looked under this tile and found crickets hiding there.  

 Necklaces

The kids loved making fruitloop necklaces.  They loved eating them even more.  

Nests

Books
The Best Nest by P.D. Eastman
and
The Best Nest by Doris L. Mueller
(yup, two books with the same name)
Seven Hungry Babies by Candace Flemming

This is a favorite activity.  We've done it before, but it was more educational this time after reading a book about how birds make nests.  We used 'sticks', 'grass' and 'mud' to weave together a nest to put our eggs.

We used these activities to work on patterns

and sorting capital and lowercase letters

and we used or 'donut' chair as a nest.  We flew around the house and then back to the nest for safety.  Don't worry, Ellie's knee did not end up knocking out Lissy's tooth.
