What my Child is Reading - June 12, 2011

 

What we are reading this week:
We have been reading a few pages from this book this week for Science!  This is a great book for learning about animals, the book is divided up into bite sizes pieces of information.  This month we are doing reptiles and amphibians (to go along with C's science class), so we are covering two pages at a time on those topics.  Each two page spread has several accompanying internet links, which we look up and further our exploration by watching videos, looking at pictures, or listening to animal sounds.  Lots of fun!

Unfortunately this is a discontinued Usborne Book, but I'm glad I snagged it before they stopped selling it.  You can find used copies though, and check your local library.  Similar to the "Me on the Map" book, this is beginning geography, focusing on what the child is familiar with...their very own street and neighborhood.

We are still reading through Snake and Lizard, and enjoying it!

Keeping with our reptile theme, we will be listening to the story One Tiny Turtle.  And may add a few other reptile type books.  Next week we move on to amphibians.
