First Grade -Week 11

 Here is what we did FUN this week for First Grade!!

Worm Nomenclature Book; Part of the Zoological Nomenclature Books Bundle from Montessori Print Shop (Review and Giveaway coming in December)

Annelida Family 3 part cards; Part of the Animal Kindgom Bundle from Montessori Print Shop

I also joined Enchanted Learning website (again), They have lots of great worksheets, copywork, projects, printable books, etc on their site.  We did this page from the Animal Groups Printable Book.

Our worms - we could not find ANY worms in our yard, it's rather dry where we live, and with volcanic ground, not too many worms...so we ended up buying a bunch of compost worms from a guy on Craigslist.  They also came with a small starter compost bin, so we were able to add that into our experiments!  

Observing Worms - Layered Jar, an experiment from our Pandia Press Life Science curriculum!

  

More worm experiments from Pandia Press

Filling out the lab sheet (Pandia Press)

Our compost bin, our worms are under all that food and newspaper

C found a new friend as well.....now worms are hard to come by, but Lizards and Geckos are NOT!

We did manage to find ONE earthworm when we went to the Botanical Gardens Windward Side on Friday....(after the unit had technically ended, we added him to our layered jar experiment pictured above).

Weekly Workboxes - Week 11

This week is worms! The inchworm printables are from Confessions of a Homeschooler's Letter of the Week Curriculum, I is for Inchworm.

This idea stemmed from this pin

Other fun stuff on the schedule for this week is

Painting with worms, worm treats, and making worms from play dough!

The littles will also be participating in science projects with my first grader this week...we will be digging for worms and observing them! Most of our weekly preschool themes coincide with the first grade science curriculum for this purpose. I reordered a few of the science topics however, so,that we could have worms and spiders for Halloween!! (So next week is spiders!!).

Come back on Friday for our weekly wrap up!!
