The Story of Ferdinand


This week we are rowing The Story of Ferdinand. It's about an incredibly big and strong bull who would rather smell the flowers than to fight at the bull fights in Madrid. We got to watch some bullfight videos already, I tried to make sure they would n't see any bulls bleeding or being killed by the Matador.
Geography: Spain, color Spain flag and look for Spain in map.
Language arts: sequence of events, story cards.
We'll be adding everything we do to a lapbook
Science: Ferdinand likes to lay down under a cork tree.

Also this week we'll be talking about the months of the year, for math A6 will be introduced to the unknown number or algebra... a very simple algebra(if there is such a thing).
I also have an activity pg about the colors of fall. Yes it is officially Fall!
I have a lot of Fall activities for the next few months. We'll be doing a weather lapbook that includes the weather for the four seasons, but that's another post!
