SeaWorld/Busch Gardens ~ Teacher Guides


We are doing a unit on Penguins this week, inspired by a product we are reviewing for the Schoolhouse Review Crew.

My friend e-mailed me a great resource called A to Z Stuff. She thought I would be interested in the Space unit, and I am, but while perusing the site I found a section on Polar animals, including Penguins. It has some amazing resources, lesson plans, and activities. We are using some of them this week.


The site also linked to SeaWorld/Busch Gardens. Did you know that they have entire unit studies on marine life?? There are about 12 different complete lesson plans, that include science, spelling, vocabulary, math, art, and more. And there are lesson plans for different age levels.

I chose the K-3 lesson plans on Penguins, and my entire week of lessons were planned for me. It is some really great stuff! I love it!

If you are doing any marine biology studies, it is certainly worth a look.

A New Year, the Same Me

Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...
