I had initially planned on doing a 2nd week of Dr. Seuss books, but decided to alter my plan a little while I was pulling out all of our Easter books. We have books all over our house. Just about every room has either a bookcase or book basket, and most of them have 2 or more. I do keep our books organized by type, but not theme. I've never really wanted to do that and enjoy going through all of our hundreds of books when searching for something. I began my search for our Easter books and quickly realized that we have dozens of books with a bear theme. I immediately started pulling a few of them out and decided to do a bear theme this week, instead of another week of Dr. Seuss. Just like last week, we will read each book and then do the tray. I expect we will do most of them every day. Here are the activities and books I decided to use for the week: Button Sorting with Corduroy Sort the buttons by color. Corduroy is missing a button, so I thought button sorting was the PERFECT activity for this book! ~color sorting & recognition~ Identifying Habitats with Grizzwold Take an animal out of the metal bin and place it in the correct habitat bowl. I kept this simple, rather than including specific land habitats, due to Super Tot's age. This could easily be adapted for an older child, as well. In this book, Grizzwold's forest home is being cut down, so he must try to find a new home that is suitable for him. ~science, classifying~ Identifying Animals Identify each animal you see through the window. I have 20 animal cards in the envelope. The window allows Super Tot to only see a small portion of each animal. He is to try to identify the animals using only the small section he can see. Once he guesses one, we will pull it out and check it before moving on to the next one. In the book, each animal's mother loves him "with all her _______" (flippers, teeth, etc.). I thought it would be fun to identify animals only being able to see one part. ~science, logic & critical thinking~ Sorting Bears by Size Place each bear photo on the correct square based on the size of the bear. There are 4 of each size. **These photographs were taken by my father, an award winning nature photographer. Check out some of his work at Tranquil Photo.** In The Biggest Bear, a young boy's "pet" bear grows way too big for him to keep. ~size discrimination~ Count the Bears Count the bears in each row and place the correct number disk in the box. Bears, Bears, Everywhere is a simple, but cute counting book. ~counting, number recognition~ Transferring Bears with Sal Transfer the bears, one at a time, to the second bowl using the tongs. Just like in the book, we are actually going to use blueberries for this activity at least a few of the days, but I couldn't leave them out! We will also count them. ~transferring, fine motor, counting~ Happy / Sad Sorting with Albert the Bear Place each photo into the correct bowl based on the emotion pictured. In the book Albert the Bear, Albert has a sad looking face. The other toys all try to cheer him up, and he can't seem to convince them that he is happy already. ~social skills~ Hide & Seek with Little Bear Super Tot and I will take turns hiding one of the two bears and letting the other one seek. He can also use the bears to reenact the story. In Good Night, Little Bear we see the fun bedtime routine of Little Bear's family. Little Bear sits atop his father's shoulders while his daddy looks all over the house searching for him, only to find that Little Bear is on his shoulders. ~role playing~ For lots more inspiration, be sure to check these sites: 1+1+1=1 Sun Scholars No Time for Flashcards Homeschool Creations Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas ABC & 123 Living Life Intentionally Read, Explore, Learn Living Montessori Now Homeschooling on the Cheap

I have seen this lesson everywhere on blogs, so thank you to all of you! I like this lesson as it is a great sub lesson. We discuss optical illusions and look at several examples, the kids love them! Then we draw a circle in the middle of the paper. I show students how to make the lines curve with the circle. I give students a ruler and they draw the grid in the background. We talk about contrasting colors, and the kids are off! When the students are finished coloring, we take vine charcoal and add a shadow to the sphere. I usually mount these on construction paper to make them look finished.

Friends~In honor of SHARK Week on Discovery Channel, I am going to share some of my most favorite shark lessons and activities! Be sure to check out the different fin cams on the site above. AWESOME! I like to start with a KWL before we read. It is always interesting how much background knowledge your student's have on a topic or what information they have that is correct. Here is a quick tip: Make your KWL on a huge sheet of bulletin board paper in the shape of a shark. Then pass out white triangles (TEETH) for the students to add their thinking on. Tape the teeth to the KWL. I leave out (Teeth) in our research center during the week. We add to the learned section as we answer our questions. We even add questions as we learn. I love keeping it interactive! You can even serve bugles (TEETH) while you read a shark book! They make a great story souvenir for students to take home! I also have collected several shark teeth samples from trips to the beach. I always place them in the science center for my students to explore and measure. I got the shark teeth pictures from Enchanted Learning. I love the world of sharks! They are amazing creatures with tons for us to learn about. One of my favorite books to introduce shark facts is Sharks! by Gail Gibbons. Her books are always perfect for sharing facts and diagrams in a picture book kind of way. Be sure to have a tape measure on hand while you read this because it is so cool to show the students just how long these creatures are as you read. After we read this book, we measure the sharks in students. I love the look on my kiddo's faces when we get to the whale shark! (I pre measure yarn in the lengths of the sharks below.) I then lay the yarn out and invite students to lay next to the yarn on the floor. They fill in the table below. I then share this video! I love this book for my guided reading groups! The pictures are fantastic and the students are always super engaged. My kiddos also love my Flipping Fins Math Game. It is so simple to play. Just grab some plastic sharks like the ones below. Print out the center and you are all set. Click the picture below to grab a FREE copy of my Flipping Fins Math Game! If you are interested in more SHARK fun click on my SHARK file below. It is filled with more fantastic shark learning fun!
