MFW: I is for Insect!

We are cruising through MFW

I is for insect!

The tagline: I am a wise child, so I work hard.

 {Remembering the ant hill and all the tunnels the ants dug!}

 We read some insect books...

{The Bee Tree is really lovely!}

 Plugging along in math, counting by 10s

via abacus and matching numbers to it...

 Using the 100s chart to count by 5s...

the clear pebbles show the pattern visually...

 Counting with tally sticks

(I don't know why this is so important for MCPS

but b/c they are doing it, just wanted to make sure she gets it.)

 Extension work for the knobless cylinders...

Eliz really enjoys doing this.

 H is for horse!

Sandpaper letters for Eliz.

We are working our way through the alphabet.

 Journal entry about girl chicks liking boy chicks (sigh).

Emilie already likes a boy (2 years older, I might add)

at church.  She wakes up in the morning and tells me

she dreams about him!  :/

Noooooo!!!  It's too soon!

And lastly, a vintage game -- MY game I played with as a 5 year old!

It was musty but nothing a little bleach couldn't handle.

Eliz loves stacking up the pieces.

What memories it brings back to see this game again!
