First Grade–Week 29–Ancient India

We are WAY behind with Lego Club, but this was April’s project – a playground!  We just got around to doing it this week.  Lego Club is FREE through Currclick.com, you can use what Lego’s you have, order some from online sites (at a cost) or order a complete kit from the Club Leader.  We do a little of both, just depends on my mood. 

We are also behind in opening our Little Passport packages, so I pulled out India this week….since we were studying Ancient India. 

For Art we used Home Art Studio First Grade and did the lesson on peacocks, since peacocks live in India. 

We also listened to Story of the World, read a story from India and read about the People of India (using the books pictured below)

For Science we are still doing the Moving Beyond the Page review, and enjoying it…more to come the end of the month. 
For the most part we are doing light loads over the summer, our weeks are jammed pack with Swimming Lessons, Field Trips, Science Class, Art Camps, Pool/Beach Trips, Gymnastics, etc…
